Get ready to dive deeper into the enchanting world of NieR as the series celebrates its 15th anniversary with a special livestream. This event promises exciting updates and insider insights from the creative minds behind NieR. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming celebration and the tantalizing possibility of a new NieR game.

NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream On April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for April 19, 2025, as Square Enix is set to host a 15th Anniversary Livestream for the NieR series on their YouTube channel. This highly anticipated event will feature key figures who have shaped the series, including NieR's visionary creator and Creative Director, Yoko Taro, alongside Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and the voice actor for Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042, Hiroki Yasumoto.

Expect a mix of nostalgia and innovation during the stream, which will include a mini-live performance and other commemorative content. The promotional image for the event showcases artwork from the now-discontinued mobile game, NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at a revival or a new project related to the mobile title, or it might simply be a nod to its role in the NieR universe.

The livestream is scheduled to start at 2 AM PT and is expected to last about 2.5 hours. With such a significant duration, fans are buzzing with anticipation, hoping for a major announcement.

Possible New Game For The Series

Adding to the excitement, Producer Yosuke Saito has previously hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game. In an interview with 4Gamer in December 2024, Saito expressed his desire to celebrate the 15th anniversary with something new, potentially a game or other developments related to the series.

Since the release of NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR game, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline entry following the critically acclaimed NieR Automata from 2017. With no official announcements yet from Square Enix, the upcoming 15th Anniversary Livestream is seen as the perfect opportunity to unveil what's next for the beloved series.
