NieR is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary with a livestream that promises new updates for the series and insights from the developers. Dive into the details of this upcoming event and the potential for a new NieR game.
NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream Scheduled for April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars for the NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream, set to take place on April 19, 2025. This event, hosted by Square Enix on their YouTube channel, will feature key figures behind the NieR series, including creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto, who lends his voice to Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042.
Expect a mini-live performance and a wealth of information related to the 15th anniversary celebration. The promotional artwork for the livestream showcases elements from the now-defunct mobile game NieR Reincarnation, hinting at possible connections or nods to this title, though it could also serve as a tribute to the series' history.
The live broadcast will kick off at 2 AM PT and is anticipated to last approximately 2.5 hours, fueling speculation about major announcements on the horizon.
Anticipation for a New NieR Game
Excitement is building around the possibility of a new NieR game. Producer Yosuke Saito hinted in a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer that the 15th anniversary might be the perfect occasion to unveil a new project or further developments within the series.
Since the release of NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR game, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry. The last major release, NieR Automata, came out in 2017, and with no official announcements from Square Enix yet, the anticipation for what's next in the NieR universe continues to grow.
