A potential update on NieR suggests that Square Enix might soon release the next game in their series. Notably, Yosuke Saito, a producer at Square Enix, mentioned that 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of the franchise. Initially a less popular series, NieR: Automata has gained significant mainstream attention, having sold over nine million units. Although a follow-up was expected, it hasn’t been released yet. However, given that it’s the 15th anniversary of the series, it seems like an ideal time for Square Enix to finally launch a new game, and Saito’s recent hint implies they may be planning to do so.
2025 marks the 15th anniversary of the NieR series, and the producer mentioned they have some ideas for celebrating this milestone. They’re considering potential projects related to the next game or related developments based on fan feedback, but acknowledged that it might be a challenging endeavor. As he may be taking on less direct work as a producer, the producer asked fans to stay patient and excited about what’s to come.
This hint suggests quite an overt foreshadowing that a new NieR game might be unveiled this year. It’s yet to be clarified when it will hit the shelves, but considering NieR Automata was first announced in 2015 and came out in 2017, a release date of 2027 could be plausible, even probable if the new game is indeed announced this year.
It’s intriguing that the likely launch date for the next NieR game could coincide with the arrival of next-generation consoles, tentatively slated for 2028. However, recent speculation hints that the upcoming Xbox might actually be unveiled ahead of this timeline.
As a dedicated fan, it’s been refreshing to see NieR Automata consistently adhere to its two-year release cycle without any hiccups. However, Square Enix might have an unusual marketing strategy up their sleeve for the next NieR game, which could significantly alter this pattern. Given the impressive performance of NieR Automata, it’s unlikely that they would deviate too far from the current approach, unless the new game is intended for next-generation consoles. In such a case, we might be in for a longer wait between announcement and release. For now, all we can do is speculate about what lies ahead.
