NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Unveiled
NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars! Square Enix is hosting a livestream on their YouTube channel to commemorate the NieR series' 15th anniversary. This isn't just any livestream; it features a star-studded lineup of key figures behind the NieR universe. Expect appearances from NieR 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). Prepare for a mini-live performance and other exciting anniversary announcements.
Interestingly, the livestream's promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This has sparked speculation about potential future projects related to the mobile title, or it could simply be 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?
The possibility of a new NieR game has been hinted at by Producer Yosuke Saito. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito acknowledged the upcoming anniversary and teased the potential for a new game or significant series developments.
NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR game, was the last major release in the series. Fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry since NieR: Automata in 2017. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th anniversary livestream provides the perfect stage for a major reveal.
