NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Unveiled
NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars! Square Enix is hosting a special livestream on their YouTube channel to commemorate the NieR series' 15th anniversary. This star-studded event will feature key figures behind the series' success, including 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). Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements.
Interestingly, the livestream's promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This sparks speculation about potential future projects related to the mobile title or simply a nod to its place in the series' history.
The livestream begins 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.
A New NieR Game on the Horizon?
Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, he alluded to plans for the 15th anniversary, suggesting either a new game or significant developments for the series.
Since NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake of the original NieR), fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry. While there's been no official confirmation, the 15th anniversary livestream fuels speculation that a major announcement regarding a new NieR game is imminent.
