The Nier collection is hitting its fifteenth anniversary subsequent yr, and whereas a brand new recreation hasn’t been confirmed simply but, the video games’ producer might need teased one thing for 2025.
I have never been with the Nier collection since day one, however I can undoubtedly say I am a giant fan of it now. Like many I began off with 2017’s Nier: Automata, which is coming as much as eight years outdated now. Earlier this week the official Nier Twitter account shared that Automata has now offered over 9 million copies, which is nice and all, however clearly what folks really need is information of a brand new recreation. There was the cell entry Nier: Reincarnation, however that is been shutdown now anyway, so if you would like a sequel you are out of luck. Fortunately, although, it does not appear to be all doom and gloom, as collection producer Yosuke Saito lately spoke about Nier, seemingly teasing that some form of announcement may very well be coming subsequent yr.
As a part of 4Gamer.internet’s annual end-of-year interviews with notable Japanese recreation devs (and translated by Gematsu), Saito mentioned of the Nier collection: “2025 will probably be a milestone yr because it marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Nier collection, so I’d love to do one thing for it! What ought to we do… perhaps one thing with the following recreation, or developments associated to that… I’ve been listening to the followers’ expectations. It’s a bit tough, although… That mentioned, as I’ll doubtless be doing much less direct work as a producer, I’d admire it in the event you might patiently look ahead to what’s coming.”
Now, this is not a affirmation of any type, only a affirmation of an intention to do one thing, however look, I am going to take something! Whenever you’re somebody like me whose favorite Sq. Enix titles are this and Kingdom Hearts, any information is sweet information. Let’s simply hope Saito is not speaking about one other cell recreation that’ll ultimately get shut down.
