NieR's 15th Anniversary Livestream: April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars! Square Enix will host a livestream celebration on their YouTube channel on April 19, 2025, at 2 AM PT. The event promises a 2.5-hour extravaganza featuring key figures from the NieR universe, including:

• Yoko Taro (Creator and Creative Director)
• Yosuke Saito (Producer)
• Keiichi Okabe (Composer)
• Takahisa Taura (Senior Game Designer)
• Hiroki Yasumoto (Voice of Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042)

Expect a mini-live performance and other anniversary announcements. Interestingly, the promotional image features art from the now-closed NieR Reincarnation, hinting at potential future developments or a simple commemorative nod.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Speculation is rife among fans regarding a potential new game. Producer Yosuke Saito previously hinted at such possibilities in a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, mentioning the anniversary and expressing a desire to mark the occasion with a significant announcement, whether a new game or other major series developments.

The last mainline entry, NieR: Automata, launched in 2017. While NieR Replicant (a remaster/remake) followed, fans eagerly anticipate a new core game. The upcoming livestream, with its extended runtime, fuels this anticipation. While nothing is officially confirmed, the 15th anniversary provides the perfect backdrop for a major reveal.
