NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream Scheduled for April 19, 2025
Mark your calendars for the NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream, set to take place on April 19, 2025. This eagerly anticipated event will be hosted on Square Enix's YouTube channel, bringing together a stellar lineup of developers who have contributed to the beloved series. The livestream will feature key figures such as NieR 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 expect a mini-live performance and other exciting announcements related to the 15th anniversary celebration.

The broadcast is scheduled to start at 2 AM PT and is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours, suggesting that significant announcements could be on the horizon.
Teasers of a New Game in the Series
Adding to the anticipation, Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at the possibility of a new game for the NieR series. In an interview with 4Gamer in December 2024, Saito expressed his desire to commemorate the 15th anniversary with something special, potentially a new game or related developments.
The last release from the series was NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR game. Since the release of NieR Automata in 2017, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry. While Square Enix has yet to make an official announcement, the upcoming anniversary and Saito's hints have sparked excitement and speculation about what might be next for the NieR franchise.
