have you heard about Nier? Yes Nier ... a RPG ... published by Square.

Cavia, the studio behind Drakengard and Nier, has been dissolved. 4Gamer reported the news at the end of a lengthy interview with Nier staff including comments from Trao Yokoo, Director.

Cavia, at least the staff members, live on within AQ Interactive. AQ Interactive, the parent company of Artoon, Xseed, and previously Cavia, absorbed the studio.

With the cancellation of Cry-On, Nier was Cavia’s last project. No information on what Yokoo and his team are working on now, though. Recently, AQ Interactive has been focusing their efforts on browser games.

They also made the Resident Evil rail shooters on Wii.

I've never heard of them to be honest so I doubt they ever made anything I've played.
