Hibino Corporation has announced that it will release new smart toys based on Square Enix’s NieR Automata under the Anitech brand. The company will produce a Virtuous Contract sword that comes with a remote control feature for the following Pod 042 toy.
The Virtuous Contract sword will appear earlier in the Fall season of 2025. With a length of over 130 cm (51.18 inches), it will generate sound effects and lights as the owner swings it around. The sword will also contain voice lines from its original user 2B.
The Pod 042 toy will not be available until 2027, but it will be the main highlight of this collection. It will feature an automatic transformation feature, and the owner will also be able to remotely control it via the Virtuous Contract sword or a smartphone app. It can also fire a laser beam with sound effects. In addition, the pod will also have voice lines ranging from alarm messages at specified times to special messages that play when the owner pats it.
The Anitech smart toys of NieR Automata Virtuous Contract sword and Pod 042 will be available in Fall 2025 and 2027, respectively. The items will be based on Square Enix’s video game that has been available worldwide on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The company announced that the game has surpassed eight million units in sales as of its seventh anniversary in February 2024.
