The Nier series from Square Enix has long captivated fans with its dark storytelling, rich worlds, and memorable characters. Despite beloved titles like Nier Automata and Nier Replicant, the series has been largely dormant, leaving fans eagerly anticipating new entries. Now, with the 15th anniversary of the Nier series approaching in 2025, excitement for a potential new announcement is growing.

Yosuke Saito, producer of Nier Automata, hinted that 2025 could be a significant year for the series, fueling fan hopes even further. In an interview with Japanese outlet 4Gamer, Saito referred to 2025 as a "milestone year" for Nier, emphasizing the opportunity to celebrate the series' legacy while looking ahead. "2025 will be a milestone because it marks the 15th anniversary of the Nier series, so I’d like to do something for it! What should we do... maybe something related to the next game or its development... I’ve heard the fans’ expectations," Saito stated.

These comments follow a long period of speculation and rumors. Fans got their first hint earlier this year when the Nier: Orchestra Concert teased the word "R3PENT," suggesting new developments were on the horizon. Saito’s additional remarks about ongoing game development, though vague, have only heightened anticipation. With the anniversary fast approaching, many expect announcements in the coming months.

Long-time fans have been waiting for a full, mainline Nier game rather than mobile spin-offs like Nier Reincarnation, which, while enjoyable, have never captured the essence of the core series. If Saito and Yoko Taro are indeed preparing something for the 15th anniversary, a major announcement—potentially a new mainline entry continuing the rich narrative tradition of the series—seems likely.

As this pivotal year draws closer, fans can’t help but hope that 2025 will finally bring the Nier game they’ve been waiting for.
