NieR Automata’s Save-Deleting Ending

This game punishes you by deleting your progress. In NieR Automata, one of the official

endings asks you a question. Help other players. Or keep your save file.

Here’s the insane part. If you say yes, the game permanently deletes everything.

Your characters. Your weapons. Your entire playthrough. No fake screen. No undo.

The data is gone. Square Enix confirmed this was intentional. Your deleted save is converted into

help data for struggling players during the final fight. You don’t just beat the game.

You sacrifice your progress so someone else can. It’s the only AAA game where the true

ending costs you everything. We post daily gaming fun facts. Subscribe for more!
