NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream Scheduled for April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, as Square Enix gears up to host a livestream on their YouTube channel to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the NieR series. This event will feature key figures who have shaped the series, including NieR's creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and the voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto, known for his roles as Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042.

Expect more than just talks; the livestream will also include a mini-live performance and other exciting reveals to commemorate this milestone. The promotional artwork for the event showcases elements from the now-discontinued mobile game NieR Reincarnation, sparking speculation about potential new projects or a nod to the series' history.

Tune in at 2 AM PT for what promises to be a 2.5-hour event, hinting at significant announcements that could shape the future of NieR.

Anticipation for a New NieR Game

The excitement around the 15th anniversary is further fueled by hints from Producer Yosuke Saito. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito teased the possibility of a new game or other developments to celebrate the series' milestone.

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, leaving fans hungry for more. With no official announcements yet from Square Enix, the upcoming livestream is seen as a potential platform for revealing the next chapter in the NieR saga.
