Sq. Enix is celebrating 15 years of existential crises and scorching androids with a particular Nier anniversary livestream, that includes appearances from a number of collection veterans, and a few followers have their fingers crossed that we’ll lastly see a Nier Automata sequel pop up.
The Nier collection’ fifteenth anniversary occasion will probably be livestreamed on April 19 at 6pm JST, 9am GMT, and 1am PST – obtainable to look at on YouTube. Sq. Enix says the stream will embody details about upcoming occasions and merch, a mini live performance of the collection’ 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.
In fact, there isn’t any phrase on the potential of 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 throughout the collection’ tenth anniversary celebration.
2021’s Nier Replicant was the final sport within the ever-popular motion RPG collection – itself a spin-off from the Drakengard collection – that mixes over the-top spectacle combating with some actually heavy subject material. Replicant was a remaster-remake of the very first Nier sport, so we’ve not seen a mainline continuation of the collection since Nier Automata grew to become a worldwide sensation seven years in the past.
Nier Automata has since bought over 9 million copies and 2B’s iconic design not too long ago 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.
