NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream on April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, as Square Enix hosts a livestream on their YouTube channel to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the NieR series. This event will feature key members of the development team, including:
- NieR series creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro
- Producer Yosuke Saito
- Composer Keiichi Okabe
- Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura
- Voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto, known for voicing Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042
In addition to insights from these pivotal figures, the livestream will include a mini-live performance and other exciting announcements related to the 15th anniversary celebration.
The promotional image for the livestream showcases art from the now-discontinued mobile game, NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at future projects related to the mobile title or simply serve as a nod to its contribution to the series' legacy.
Tune in at 2 AM PT for this anticipated event, which is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours. The duration suggests that major announcements or reveals might be on the horizon.
Possible New Game for the Series
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a new NieR game, and the 15th anniversary could be the perfect occasion for such an announcement. In December 2024, Producer Yosuke Saito hinted in an interview with 4Gamer that he was considering something special for the anniversary, potentially a new game or further developments within the series.
The last major release, NieR Replicant, was a remastered version of the original NieR game. Since the release of NieR Automata in 2017, fans have been without a new mainline entry. With the upcoming anniversary, the anticipation for a new NieR game is higher than ever.
Stay tuned for the livestream on April 19, 2025, for what could be a significant moment in the NieR series' history.
