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 a lineup of 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.
The livestream isn't just about reminiscing; it will also include a mini-live performance and other exciting announcements related to the series' 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 celebration, hinting at significant announcements that could shape the future of NieR.
Anticipation for a New NieR Game
The excitement surrounding 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 commemorate the series' milestone. This has sparked hope among fans who have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry since the release of NieR: Automata in 2017.
The last release, NieR Replicant, was a remaster-remake of the original NieR game, leaving fans hungry for fresh content. With no official announcements yet from Square Enix, the upcoming livestream is seen as a potential platform for revealing what's next for the NieR universe.
