NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream with Yoko Taro Unveiled

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 new updates and behind-the-scenes insights from the developers themselves. This article explores the upcoming event and the exciting possibility of a new NieR game.

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, commemorating 15 years of the NieR series.

The event 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), and 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 mobile game. This could hint at future developments related to that title or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history.

The livestream, scheduled for 2 AM PT, is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours, fueling speculation about significant reveals.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at a potential new game in the works. A December 2024 interview with 4Gamer saw Saito discussing the anniversary and expressing a desire to mark the occasion with either a new game or other significant series developments.

The last mainline release was NieR: Automata in 2017, followed by NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th anniversary and Saito's comments have ignited considerable fan anticipation for a new entry in the beloved NieR franchise.
