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 anniversary announcements.

Intriguingly, the livestream's promotional art features imagery from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This could hint at future developments related to that title, or simply serve as a nod to the game's place in 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 announcements.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at a potential new game in the works. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito alluded to the upcoming anniversary and expressed a desire to mark the occasion with either a new game or significant series developments.

Since NieR Replicant (a remaster-remake of the original NieR), fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th anniversary livestream offers a prime opportunity for Square Enix to unveil the next chapter in the NieR saga.
