NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Revealed
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 isn't just any livestream; it features a star-studded lineup of key figures behind the series' success. 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.
Intriguingly, the promotional image includes art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This could hint at future developments related to that title, or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history.
The livestream begins April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT on Square Enix's YouTube channel. With an estimated runtime of 2.5 hours, anticipation is high for some major reveals.
A New NieR Game on the Horizon?
The possibility of a new NieR game has been subtly teased by Producer Yosuke Saito. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito hinted at plans to commemorate the anniversary, mentioning the potential for a new game or other significant developments within the series.
Since NieR Replicant (the remaster/remake of the original NieR game), fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th anniversary livestream offers a perfect stage for such a revelation, fueling excitement among the dedicated fanbase.
