Get ready, NieR fans! The beloved series is gearing up to celebrate its 15th anniversary with an exciting livestream that promises new updates and insights straight from the creators. Dive in to discover what's in store for the upcoming event and the potential for a new NieR game.

NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream Scheduled for April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, as Square Enix is set to host a special 15th Anniversary Livestream for the NieR series on their YouTube channel. This event will not only celebrate the series' milestone but also offer fans a chance to hear directly from the masterminds behind NieR.

The livestream will feature a stellar lineup of developers, including the series' creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto, known for voicing Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042. Fans can also look forward to a mini-live performance and other exciting announcements related to the anniversary.

An intriguing detail from the promotional material is the use of art from the now-discontinued mobile game, NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at Square Enix revisiting elements from the game or simply serving as a nostalgic nod to its place in the series' history.

Scheduled to start at 2 AM PT, the livestream is expected to last around 2.5 hours, fueling speculation that major announcements, possibly about a new game, might be on the horizon.

Rumors of a New NieR Game

Adding to the excitement, Producer Yosuke Saito hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game during an interview with 4Gamer in December 2024. While discussing the upcoming 15th anniversary, Saito expressed his desire to create something new for the series, sparking hope among fans.

The most recent release from the NieR franchise was NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original game. Since the launch of NieR Automata in 2017, there has been a significant gap without a new mainline entry. With no official word yet from Square Enix, anticipation is building for what the 15th Anniversary Livestream might reveal about the future of the NieR series.
