NieR's 15th Anniversary: A Livestream Event and the Potential for a New Game
Get ready, NieR fans! A special 15th-anniversary livestream is planned, promising exciting updates and developer insights. This article delves into the event details and explores the possibility of a new game announcement.
The NieR Series Celebrates 15 Years
Mark your calendars! Square Enix will host a livestream on their YouTube channel on April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT, commemorating the NieR series' 15th anniversary. The event, expected to last approximately 2.5 hours, features key figures from the NieR universe:
- Yoko Taro (Creator and Creative Director)
- Yosuke Saito (Producer)
- Keiichi Okabe (Composer)
- Takahisa Taura (Senior Game Designer)
- Hiroki Yasumoto (Voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042)
A mini-live performance is also planned, along with other anniversary-related announcements. Intriguingly, the promotional image includes art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation, hinting at potential future developments related to the mobile title or simply a nostalgic nod to the series' history.
A New NieR Game on the Horizon?
Speculation is rife amongst fans regarding a potential new game announcement. In December 2024, producer Yosuke Saito hinted in a 4Gamer interview about celebrating the anniversary with either a new game or significant series developments. With NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake of the original) being the last major release, and NieR: Automata having launched in 2017, anticipation for a new mainline entry is at fever pitch. While nothing is confirmed, the length of the planned livestream fuels hopes for a major reveal.
Don't miss this momentous occasion for NieR fans! Tune in to Square Enix's YouTube channel on April 19th to witness the celebrations and potentially discover the future of the beloved series.
