Where is NieR: Automata set?

2017 action role-playing video game

NieR: Automata (2017) is not pinned on this map. Wikidata records its setting as North Atlantic Ocean and nothing finer. It is set in Earth-Moon system, which does not exist. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Part of the Drakengard game series

Why there is no pin

Wikidata records this game as set in North Atlantic Ocean, and nothing finer. That is true and it is not a place: a dot in the middle of it would claim something nobody wrote, so the statement is left as a sentence. It is also set in Earth-Moon system, which does not exist. An invented place has no coordinates because it is not anywhere, and this atlas will not borrow real ones for it unless Wikidata says which real place it stands for.

This page exists because that is a better answer than silence. If a real place belongs here, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

Was NieR: Automata filmed anywhere?

No. A game is filmed nowhere, so the places on this page are where its story is set, from Wikidata's narrative location and from Wikipedia's setting categories.

Where does this information come from?

Narrative location statements on Wikidata, and the setting categories Wikipedia editors file the work under, which are labelled per Wikipedia. Nothing is guessed from the plot.
