The long-awaited moment has arrived for NieR: Automata Ver1.1a fans as Episodes 9–12 dubs (finale) have finally been released on Crunchyroll. Despite the lack of prior announcements and official information, the silent release brings an end to the extended period of anticipation.
The hype surrounding the release had dwindled over the months, primarily due to the subbed episodes concluding in July 2023. Even the subbed version faced its share of delays, with Episode 8 airing in March 2023, followed by an unexpected hiatus. However, on July 23, 2023, Crunchyroll surprised fans with the drop of Episodes 9 to 12, concluding the series in sub. But the dub had to face a considerable amount of delay, and now finally, the pending episodes have been released on Crunchyroll.
