Last month, Square Enix released a demo where players can opt to kill themselves by unequipping an OS chip for a menu-based hara-kiri.

"NieR: Automata" was featured in the Taipei Game Show last Monday in a lengthy presentation revealing new footages and featuring producer Yosuke Saito. A good 10 minutes of the new footage revealed new content not previously seen in earlier videos or demos.

New locations on the "NieR: Automata" map were explored, showing the ruins of an amusement park, an abandoned department store and a submerged city. These new portions offered an impressive never-before-seen view of the city particularly from atop a tower.

Moreover, Square Enix also released a few "NieR: Automata" screenshots providing a teaser look into the game that will debut in a couple of months. The newest Platinum Games-developed action RPG will debut for the PlayStation 4 in Japan on Feb. 23, in North America on March 7 and in Europe on Mar. 10,.

There is no official confirmation as to a PC debut of "NieR: Automata" with only an unscheduled release for 2017. A PS4 demo for those interested to buy the game is now available worldwide.

Last month, Square Enix released a demo of the "NieR: Automata" showing gameplay content. The game features a fashionable android tearing away and slicing through a bevy of robot enemies. However, a unique surprise is included in the User Interface menu, where players can opt to kill themselves in just a few clicks.

"NieR: Automata" Game Director Yoko Taro equipped players with various skill chips to activate and deactivate portions of the User Interface. Taro has been known to add a few playful quirks in the UI, Kotaku has learned.

Players who opt to remove the OS chip will receive a warning that says, "Removal Means Death." Reckless players have been known to commit menu-based hara-kiri, where the screen fades into black and returns to the title page.
