First Hints for the New Game of the NieR Series Arrived
Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito gave fans an exciting hint by drawing attention to the 15th anniversary of the NieR series. Speaking at the CES 2025 event, Saito said, “2025 will be a big year for the NieR series. It could be a new game or another development for the series. I hear the fans’ expectations,” hinting that a new NieR game could be announced. This statement strengthened the expectation that the series will continue with a new game after the huge success of NieR Automata.
Possible Release Date for New NieR Game
Although the new game in the NieR series has not been officially announced yet, Yosuke Saito’s statements indicate that Square Enix could make an announcement this year. NieR Automata was announced in 2015 and released in 2017. If a similar process is followed, it seems likely that the new NieR game will be released around 2027.
NieR Automata has sold over 9 million copies, taking the series from a niche production to a mainstream success. The new game in the series has the potential to take this success even further. However, the game’s announcement and release dates may change depending on Square Enix’s marketing strategy. While the next-generation consoles are expected to be released in 2028, it is also possible that the next NieR game will be developed specifically for these platforms.
Yosuke Saito stated that special plans have been made for the 15th anniversary of the NieR series and that they are aware of the fans’ expectations. The success of NieR Automata has made the series one of Square Enix’s most important brands. In addition to a new NieR game, there is a possibility that other projects related to the series will be announced.
NieR fans are eagerly waiting for a possible announcement this year. The 15th anniversary of the series could open the doors to a new game or other surprises. The steps that Square Enix will take in this regard are being followed with great interest.
