Nier is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary later this 12 months, and to mark the event, Sq. Enix is internet hosting a particular livestream.
This coming April 22, it will have been 15 years for the reason that authentic Nier launched on PS3 and Xbox 360, a title that obtained fairly combined opinions however has clearly gone on to start an extremely beloved sequence due to its sequel Nier Automata and its personal remaster in 2021, to not point out a (now defunct) cellular sport, books, and many extra. So, as a part of celebrating its anniversary, Sq. Enix is internet hosting a livestream on its official YouTube channel on April 19, the place it is going to “ship the newest info on occasions and merchandise deliberate to be held in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary, together with talks from builders.”
There may also apparently be a mini dwell efficiency throughout this system, and it will final about two and a half hours. In fact, creator Yoko Taro, sequence producer Yosuke Saito, and composer Keiichi Okabe may also be there, alongside senior sport designer Taura Takahisa, and Grimoire Weiss/ Pod 042 voice actor Hiroki Yasumoto. Now, as thrilling as this livestream sounds, notably contemplating key artwork for Reincarnation, the delisted cellular sport, is featured within the announcement, I would not soar the gun simply but, as Japanese livestreamed occasions like this do not all the time comprise any huge items of reports.
It’s the fifteenth anniversary, although, and Saito did truly tease the following sport within the sequence, in addition to one thing extra mysterious, in an end-of-year interview in 2024, so it’s solely attainable one thing like that can be introduced. Nier Automata truly turns eight years previous right this moment, which is making me really feel uncomfortably previous, so it might be good if one other Nier sport manages to return out earlier than I enter the following decade of my life. For now, we’ll simply must hold our fingers crossed that one thing will get proven off.
