Enthusiasts of NieR: Automata received exciting tidings from an update by one of the game’s leading developers and potentially its sequel too. This significant information stems directly from Yosuke Saito, the producer of the NieR series, who recently disclosed some captivating news – especially intriguing for dedicated NieR: Automata fans.
Lately, it’s been confirmed that Yoko Taro, Keiichi Okabe, and Takahisa – key contributors to the NieR: Automata team – are collaborating on an undisclosed project. While the nature of this project isn’t yet revealed, there have been hints suggesting it could potentially be a sequel to NieR: Automata.
This announcement arrives following Taura’s departure from PlatinumGames and launch of his own studio, making it somewhat unexpected yet exciting news. Notably, NieR Automata stands out as the crown jewel in the NieR series, transforming a relatively obscure franchise into a mainstream success. Given this, it seems that the objective is to reunite as many members of the NieR Automata team as possible if the intention is indeed to develop a new NieR game.
One fan of the news excitedly remarks: “I hope it’s NieR, it’s been 8 years since Automata!” Regardless, I’m thrilled to see them collaborating on a new project.” Another fan chimes in with enthusiasm: “Yes! The best team is back together again.
A different supporter also commented: “I really empathized with Taura’s departure from PlatinumGames, or his non-joining of Square Enix. But this news is truly brightening up my day.
For those excited about NieR, remember there’s no official word yet if the upcoming mystery project is indeed a new NieR game, but strong indications suggest that possibility. It’s quite likely that we might learn more about this game in the coming months, and it may not be too long before its release. Given that unlike NieR: Automata, this new title doesn’t require an extensive marketing campaign due to the IP’s increased recognition now.
