List

Nierverse (Drakengard-Nier Timeline)

A list by Masodo · 6 games · Nov 11, 2026

Timeline note: This list follows the Drakengard → NieR storyline. Drakengard 1 has multiple endings, and only one of them (Ending C) leads into the NieR series. Drakengard 2 is not part of this timeline: it continues from a different ending of Drakengard 1, was developed by Cavia without Yoko Taro’s involvement, and is generally treated as a separate branch that is not canon to the NieR line. Related media: Drakengard 3 has supplementary material that expands its backstory: the prequel novella A Rain to End and a Flower to Begin (Zero’s childhood), the manga Drag-On Dragoon 3: Utahime Five and Shi ni Itaru Aka (about the Intoner sisters and One), and the novel Drag-On Dragoon 3 Story Side, which leads directly into Drakengard 1. Optional, but recommended for the full story.
