In an end-of-year interview with 4Gamer.net, NieR producer Yosuke Saito reflected on the series reaching another major milestone in 2025, which marks its 15th anniversary. He hinted at exciting possibilities, mentioning his hopes to work on the “next game” or explore related developments. While keeping details under wraps, he encouraged fans to stay tuned and look forward to what the future holds for the beloved series.
This is what he said (Thanks to Gematsu):
“2025 will be a milestone year as it marks the 15th anniversary of the NieR series, so I’d like to do something for it! What should we do… maybe something with the next game, or developments related to that… I’ve been hearing the fans’ expectations. It’s a bit tricky, though… That said, as I’ll likely be doing less direct work as a producer, I’d appreciate it if you could patiently look forward to what’s coming.”
