Is There A New Game Coming From Nier Automata?

Square Enix’s beloved series Nier, which has attracted attention with games such as Nier Automata and Nier Replicant, will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2025. Producer Yosuke Saito hinted that a big announcement could be made about the series in an interview with Japan-based 4Gamer. Saito said, “2025 will be a turning point for the Nier series. I hear the expectations of the fans and we want to prepare something to meet those expectations.”

Nier Automata’s Success and New Projects

Nier Automata, which was released in 2017, was a huge success worldwide and won the hearts of millions of players with both its story and gameplay. The success of the game led to the expansion of the series. The subsequent Nier Replicant and the mobile game Nier Reincarnation increased the popularity of the series. However, fans have been waiting for a new main game for a long time.

Yosuke Saito said in his interview that the team is aware of the fans’ expectations. In addition, the word “R3PENT” shown during the Nier: Orchestra Concert held in 2023 was interpreted by many as a harbinger of a new game.

One of the biggest fears of fans is the possibility of the next game being a mobile game. However, Saito did not give any definitive information on this subject, but stated that they are working on a production worthy of the series. The developers said, “We will make a more concrete statement in the near future,” implying that the announcement of new projects is not too far away.

Nier Automata’s story and philosophical depth have taken the series to a different position. The announcement of a new game seems to be a great source of excitement for fans of the series. It is thought that this announcement, which will be made in 2025, will shape the future of the series.
