Get ready, NieR fans! The NieR series is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a livestream packed with exciting updates and developer insights. Read on to learn more about this upcoming event and the possibility of a new NieR game.

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 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 anniversary announcements.

Intriguingly, the livestream's promotional image features 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 major announcements.

A New NieR Game on the Horizon?

Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at a new game in development. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, he alluded to the upcoming anniversary and expressed a desire to mark the occasion with either a new game or significant series developments.

The last mainline entry, NieR: Automata, launched in 2017, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a sequel. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th anniversary livestream offers a prime opportunity for a major reveal, especially given Saito's comments. The remaster/remake NieR Replicant bridged the gap, but the demand for a new, original NieR experience remains strong.
