NieR's 15th Anniversary: A Livestream Event and Potential New Game Reveal
Get ready, NieR fans! A special 15th-anniversary livestream is on the horizon, promising exciting updates and developer insights. This article delves into the event details 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. The event will feature key figures from the NieR series, including Yoko Taro (creator and creative director), Yosuke Saito (producer), Keiichi Okabe (composer), Takahisa Taura (senior game designer), and Hiroki Yasumoto (voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042). Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements.
Intriguingly, the promotional art features imagery from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at future developments related to that title, or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history. The estimated 2.5-hour runtime suggests significant revelations are in store.
The Next NieR Game?
Speculation is rife regarding a potential new NieR game. Producer Yosuke Saito hinted at such possibilities in a 2024 interview with 4Gamer, fueling fan anticipation. With NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake) being the last major release and NieR: Automata having launched in 2017, the community eagerly awaits a new mainline entry. While nothing is confirmed, the 15th-anniversary livestream provides fertile ground for a major announcement.
