April 4, 2022: The PUBG Nier skins are now available, and they're freaking players out.
Last month it was rumoured that PUBG Nier skins were coming to Grafton's still-popular battle royale game, now the PUBG Battlegrounds x Nier Automata crossover is finally here - and it's a little pricey for anyone who wants the full set.
While Nier Automata was pretty successful for Platinum and Square Enix, the series doesn't seem to have made enough money to persuade the publisher or director Yoko Taro to make a Nier 3. Apart from a remake of the first game, Nier Replicant, the only way fans can play as 2B or the series' other characters are through crossovers with other games - like, er, Fall Guys.
The PUBG x Nier crossover includes skins based on 2B and 9S from Nier: Automata alongside Kainé and Nier himself from Replicant. PUBG's developer confirmed this after the rumour, and the event is kicking off in the game right now - although you'll have to spend a good chunk of G-coins to get all four skins, it seems.
