NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Unveiled

NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars! Square Enix is hosting a special livestream on their YouTube channel to commemorate the NieR series' 15th anniversary. This star-studded event will feature key figures behind the series' success, including creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto (Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042). Expect a mini-live performance and other exciting anniversary announcements.

Intriguingly, the livestream's promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This could hint at future developments related to the title, or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history.

The livestream begins April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT on Square Enix's YouTube channel. With an estimated runtime of two and a half hours, anticipation is high for major reveals.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Producer Yosuke Saito has subtly hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game in the works. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, he alluded to the upcoming anniversary and expressed a desire to mark the occasion with a significant project—whether it be a new game or other substantial developments.

Since NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake of the original NieR game), fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry following the critically acclaimed NieR: Automata (2017). While official announcements remain scarce, the 15th anniversary livestream fuels speculation and excitement for the future of the NieR universe.
