NieR Anniversary Livestream: New Series Updates Revealed
NieR 15th Anniversary Stream on April 19, 2025
Square Enix will host the NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream on their YouTube channel, featuring key developers behind the beloved series. This commemorative broadcast promises exclusive reveals and a look back at the franchise's legacy.
Participants will include series creator Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto (Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042). The event will also feature a mini-live performance and other anniversary-related announcements.
Notably, the official promotional art incorporates imagery from the discontinued mobile game NieR Reincarnation. This could signal new developments related to that title or simply serve as a nod to the series' complete history during the celebration.
Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025 at 2 AM PT when the 2.5-hour special airs on Square Enix's YouTube channel. The extended runtime suggests significant announcements may be coming.
Potential New Series Title in Development
Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at potential new projects for the franchise. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito discussed the upcoming anniversary and expressed interest in marking the occasion with either a new game or series-related developments.
While NieR Replicant (a remastered version of the original game) was the most recent release, fans have been awaiting a new mainline entry since NieR: Automata debuted in 2017. Though Square Enix hasn't made any official announcements, anticipation continues to build for the next installment, especially with the milestone anniversary approaching.
