Sq. Enix is celebrating 15 years of existential crises and sizzling androids with a particular Nier anniversary livestream, that includes appearances from a number of sequence veterans, and a few followers have their fingers crossed that we’ll lastly see a Nier Automata sequel pop up.
The Nier sequence’ fifteenth anniversary occasion will likely be livestreamed on April 19 at 6pm JST, 9am GMT, and 1am PST – out there to observe on YouTube. Sq. Enix says the stream will embody details about upcoming occasions and merch, a mini live performance of the sequence’ greatest musical moments, and a dialogue between builders. Producer Yosuke Saito, composer Keiichi Okabe, sport designer Takahisa Taura, and director Yoko Taro are all confirmed to be in attendance.
After all, there isn’t any phrase on the potential for a brand new sport announcement, however that hasn’t stopped followers from whipping out their copium anyway, not least as a result of Sq. Enix revealed Nier Replicant out of nowhere in the course of the sequence’ tenth anniversary celebration.
2021’s Nier Replicant was the final sport within the ever-popular motion RPG sequence – itself a spin-off from the Drakengard sequence – that mixes over the-top spectacle preventing with some actually heavy material. Replicant was a remaster-remake of the very first Nier sport, so we’ve not seen a mainline continuation of the sequence since Nier Automata grew to become a worldwide sensation seven years in the past.
Nier Automata has since offered over 9 million copies and 2B’s iconic design lately propelled Sq. Enix’s merch gross sales to succeed in new heights. (Hopefully one other $2,600 2B statue will not pop up on the present – my pockets cannot deal with it.)
Take a look at another new video games coming in 2025 and past.
