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’s going to have been 15 years for the reason that authentic Nier launched on PS3 and Xbox 360, a title that acquired fairly blended opinions however has clearly gone on to delivery an extremely beloved collection due to its sequel Nier Automata and its personal remaster in 2021, to not point out a (now defunct) cellular recreation, books, and lots 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 would “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 even apparently be a mini reside efficiency throughout this system, and it will final about two and a half hours. In fact, creator Yoko Taro, collection producer Yosuke Saito, and composer Keiichi Okabe may even be there, alongside senior recreation 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 recreation, 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 massive items of stories.
It’s the fifteenth anniversary, although, and Saito did truly tease the following recreation within the collection, in addition to one thing extra mysterious, in an end-of-year interview in 2024, so it’s fully doable one thing like that might be introduced. Nier Automata truly turns eight years outdated in the present day, which is making me really feel uncomfortably outdated, so it might be good if one other Nier recreation manages to come back out earlier than I enter the following decade of my life. For now, we’ll simply should preserve our fingers crossed that one thing will get proven off.
