NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: New Updates Revealed

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 special broadcast will feature a star-studded lineup of key figures behind the series' success, including 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). Expect a mini-live performance and other exciting anniversary announcements.

Interestingly, the promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation mobile game. This could hint at future developments related to the title, or simply serve as a nostalgic nod to the series' history.

The livestream will air on 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 revelations.

A New NieR Game?

Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at a potential new game in the works. In December 2024, an interview with 4Gamer saw Saito mention the upcoming anniversary and express his desire to commemorate it with either a new game or significant series developments.

NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR, 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 offers a tantalizing opportunity for a major reveal.
