NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream On April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, as Square Enix is set to host a livestream on their YouTube channel to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the NieR series. The event will feature key members of the development team, including the 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 his roles as Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042.

Adding to the excitement, the livestream will also include a mini-live performance and other special content to commemorate the milestone. The promotional image for the event showcases art from the now-closed mobile game, NieR Reincarnation, hinting at a potential nod to its legacy or perhaps something new on the horizon.

Scheduled to start at 2 AM PT, the broadcast is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours, fueling speculation among fans about major announcements, including the possibility of new game developments.

Possible New Game For The Series

The anticipation for a new NieR game has been building, especially after Producer Yosuke Saito hinted in a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer about potential projects to celebrate the series' 15th anniversary. While no official announcements have been made, the possibility of a new title is on many fans' minds, particularly given that the last mainline release, NieR Automata, came out in 2017. The remaster-remake, NieR Replicant, was the most recent addition to the series, but the community is eager for fresh content.

As we approach the livestream, the excitement and speculation continue to grow. Whether it's a new game or other developments, the 15th Anniversary of NieR promises to be a memorable occasion for fans around the world.
