NieR's 15th Anniversary: A Livestream Event and the Potential for a New Game

Get ready, NieR fans! A special 15th-anniversary livestream is set to unveil exciting new developments for the beloved series. This comprehensive guide covers the event details and explores the possibility of a brand-new NieR game.

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

Mark your calendars! Square Enix will host a live stream on their YouTube channel on April 19th, 2025, at 2 AM PT, celebrating 15 years of NieR. The event promises a 2.5-hour extravaganza featuring key figures from the NieR universe. Expect appearances from series 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). A mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements are also planned.

Intriguingly, the promotional image includes artwork from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at future projects related to the mobile title or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Speculation is rife about a potential new game. Producer Yosuke Saito hinted at new developments in a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, suggesting either a new game or significant series-related announcements. 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 at fever pitch. While nothing is confirmed, the 15th-anniversary livestream seems the perfect stage for such a reveal.

Don't miss this momentous occasion! Tune in to Square Enix's YouTube channel on April 19th, 2025, at 2 AM PT to witness the future of NieR unfold.
