NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: A Look at What's to Come

Get ready, NieR fans! A special 15th-anniversary livestream is on the horizon, promising exciting updates and developer insights. This article dives into the details of the event and explores the possibility of a new NieR game.

NieR's 15th Anniversary Celebration: April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars! Square Enix will host a livestream on their YouTube channel on April 19, 2025, to commemorate the NieR series' 15th anniversary. The event will feature key figures from the NieR universe, including Yoko Taro (creator and creative director), Yosuke Saito (producer), Keiichi Okabe (composer), Takahisa Taura (senior game designer), and Hiroki Yasumoto (voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042). Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements.

Interestingly, the promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at future developments related to the mobile title or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history. The livestream is anticipated to last approximately 2.5 hours, fueling speculation about major reveals. The event begins at 2 AM PT.

The Next NieR Game?

Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, he alluded to the anniversary and expressed a desire to create something special – whether a new game or other significant 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 nothing is officially confirmed, the 15th-anniversary livestream offers a prime opportunity for such an announcement.
