NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Unveiled
NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars! Square Enix is hosting a livestream on their YouTube channel to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the beloved NieR series. This special broadcast will feature a star-studded lineup of key figures behind the series' success. Expect appearances from NieR creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto (Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042). Prepare for a mini-live performance and other exciting anniversary reveals!
Interestingly, the promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This has sparked speculation about potential future projects related to the title, or perhaps it's simply a nod to the game's place in the series' history.
The livestream will air on April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT on Square Enix's YouTube channel. With an estimated runtime of 2.5 hours, anticipation is high for major announcements.
Could a New NieR Game Be on the Horizon?
Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game in development. In December 2024, an interview with 4Gamer saw Saito mention the upcoming anniversary and express his desire to celebrate with either a new game or significant series developments.
NieR Replicant, a remaster/remake of the original NieR game, was the last major release in the series. Fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry since NieR: Automata in 2017. While there's been no official confirmation from Square Enix, the 15th anniversary livestream offers a tantalizing opportunity for a major reveal. The wait is almost over!
