NieR's 15th Anniversary: A Livestream Event and Potential New Game Reveal
Get ready, NieR fans! A special 15th-anniversary livestream is set to unveil exciting new updates and developer insights for the beloved series. This article delves into the upcoming event and explores the possibility of a new NieR game announcement.
NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars! Square Enix will host a livestream celebration on their YouTube channel on April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT. This 2.5-hour event promises major reveals and features key figures from the NieR universe, including:
- 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)
The livestream's promotional art features imagery from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation, sparking speculation about potential future projects related to the mobile title. A mini-live performance is also planned, adding to the anticipation.
A New NieR Game on the Horizon?
Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game. A 2024 interview with 4Gamer saw Saito allude to celebrating the anniversary with either a new game or significant series developments. With NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake) being the last major release, and NieR: Automata launching in 2017, fans are eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry. While nothing is officially confirmed, the 15th-anniversary livestream provides the perfect stage for such an announcement. The anticipation is palpable!
