NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream on April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for the NieR 15th Anniversary Livestream, set to take place on April 19, 2025. Square Enix is pulling out all the stops with a live broadcast on their YouTube channel, featuring a stellar lineup of the minds behind the series.

The livestream will showcase key figures such as NieR series creator and Creative Director Yoko Taro, Producer Yosuke Saito, Composer Keiichi Okabe, Senior Game Designer Takahisa Taura, and the voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto, known for his roles as Grimoire Weiss and Pod 042. Expect not just insights and updates but also a mini-live performance and other exciting reveals as part of the 15th anniversary celebration.

Intriguingly, the promotional image for the event features art from the now-discontinued mobile game NieR Reincarnation. This could hint at Square Enix revisiting elements from the mobile title or simply paying homage to it as part of the anniversary festivities.

Tune in at 2 AM PT on April 19, 2025, for a livestream that's set to last approximately 2.5 hours. With such a significant time slot, fans are buzzing with anticipation for major announcements.

Possible New Game for the Series

Rumors of a new NieR game have been swirling, fueled by comments from Producer Yosuke Saito. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, Saito hinted at plans to commemorate the 15th anniversary, possibly with a new game or further developments within 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. The last major release was NieR Automata back in 2017, and with no official word yet from Square Enix, the anticipation for a new game is palpable as the 15th anniversary approaches.
