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 behind-the-scenes insights from the developers themselves. 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
Square Enix will host a livestream celebration on their YouTube channel, marking fifteen years of the beloved NieR series. The broadcast will feature 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)
Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements. Intriguingly, the promotional image features 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.
The livestream begins April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT. With an estimated runtime of 2.5 hours, anticipation is high for major reveals.
The Next NieR Game?
Producer Yosuke Saito has subtly hinted at a new game in the works. A December 2024 interview with 4Gamer saw Saito mention the anniversary and his desire to commemorate it with either a new game or significant series developments.
NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR, was the last major release. Fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry since NieR: Automata in 2017. While nothing is officially confirmed, the 15th anniversary livestream provides the perfect stage for a momentous announcement.
