Hibino Corporation opened pre-orders for the new smart toy replica of the Virtuous Contract sword used by protagonist 2B in NieR: Automata. The smart toy has functions that allow it to light up, it costs 89,100 yen (or approximately $621.07), and it will release in Japan in November 2025.
The Virtuous Contract sword replica is approximately 139cm long (or about 54.7 inches), and it is faithfully reproduced to 1:1 scale. The replica includes realistic wear and tear to simulate it seeing use in combat, with especial attention paid to the hilt and other metal parts in the handle.
The handle is made of the same braided cord as used in typical Japanese swords, as well as being based on the weapon’s design in the game. Each unit will be engraved with a unique serial number. In addition to the light up functions, the smart toy includes some Japanese voice lines from NieR: Automata protagonist 2B.

Back in August 2024, Hibino Corporation announced the line of NieR: Automata smart toys, which included the sword in addition to a remote-controlled Pod 042 toy. While it seems like the toy sword will soon make its debut in the market, the remote-controlled Pod 042 won’t be available until 2027.
The new NieR: Automata toy replica of the Virtuous Contract sword is now available for pre-order in Japan, and it will release on November 2025. Meanwhile, NieR: Automata is readily available for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
