NieR 15th Anniversary: Yoko Taro Livestream Celebration

Get ready for an exciting celebration as NieR marks its 15th anniversary with a special livestream. This event promises new updates for the series and insights directly from the developers. Dive in to discover more about the upcoming livestream and the potential for a new NieR game.

NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream Scheduled for April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, when NieR hosts its 15th Anniversary Livestream on Square Enix's YouTube channel. This highly anticipated event will feature key members of the NieR team, including series creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and the voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042, Hiroki Yasumoto.

The livestream is set to include a mini-live performance and other commemorative content to celebrate the series' milestone. Fans might also catch a glimpse of what's next for NieR, as the promotional image showcases art from the now-defunct mobile game, NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at future projects or simply serve as a nod to the series' history.

Scheduled for 2 AM PT, the broadcast is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours, suggesting that significant announcements could be on the horizon.

Anticipation for a New NieR Game

Excitement is building around the possibility of a new NieR game, fueled by comments from Producer Yosuke Saito. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito hinted at plans to celebrate the 15th anniversary, possibly with a new game or related developments.

Since the release of NieR Replicant, a remastered version of the original game, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry following NieR Automata, which debuted in 2017. Although Square Enix has yet to make an official announcement, the upcoming anniversary livestream could be the perfect stage to unveil the next chapter in the NieR saga.
