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 exciting new updates and behind-the-scenes insights from the series' creators. This article delves into the upcoming event and explores the possibility of a new NieR game announcement.
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, at 2 AM PT. This 2.5-hour event promises major reveals and features key figures from the NieR universe:
- Yoko Taro (Creator and Creative Director)
- Yosuke Saito (Producer)
- Keiichi Okabe (Composer)
- Takahisa Taura (Senior Game Designer)
- Hiroki Yasumoto (Voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042)
Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary commemorations. Intriguingly, the promotional art features imagery from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation, hinting at potential future developments related to the mobile title or simply a nostalgic nod to the series' history.
A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at a potential new game in the works. A December 2024 interview with 4Gamer saw Saito referencing the anniversary and expressing a desire to mark the occasion with either a new game or significant series developments.
With NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake of the original) being the last major release, and NieR: Automata having launched in 2017, anticipation for a new mainline entry is high. While no official announcements have been made, the upcoming livestream fuels speculation and excitement within the dedicated fanbase.
