Eccentric game director Yoko Taro celebrates Nier: Automata's one year anniversary

And it's just as weird as we'd hoped.

Yoko Taro, Nier Automata’s game director has released a special video to celebrate the anniversary of the game’s release.

Leaping onto a sofa, Taro thanks fans for their support and explains that “fan events” will be organised in North America and Europe to celebrate the anniversary. Naturally, the video ends with a silent montage of him punching, elbowing and kissing cushions.

Of course, this isn’t the strangest sequence we’ve seen Yoko Taro involved in. It’s hard to forget the Nier: Automata’s T-shirt preorder video from last year:
