While carrying over the Drakengard series' tradition of a dark atmosphere and branching storylines, no direct narrative connection is shared between Nier:Automata and the rest of the series. Nier:Automata shares the post-apocalyptic setting of the original Nier, taking place after the game's fourth ending.
