A Long-Awaited Follow-Up to NieR Automata
Released in 2017, NieR Automata became a cultural phenomenon, shipping over 9 million units and earning widespread critical acclaim. Despite its success, a direct sequel has been elusive, launching in 2021 as a remaster of the original 2010 title.
However, 2025 marks a significant milestone for the series, and Saito has teased that fans may finally hear about the next chapter in the NieR universe.
Yosuke Saito’s Tease for 2025
In a recent interview, Saito said:
“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.”
While this doesn’t explicitly confirm a sequel, the phrasing strongly suggests that a new NieR title will be revealed in 2025.
What to Expect From the Next NieR Game?
- Potential Announcement Year: 2025
- Expected Release Window: 2027
- Platforms: Likely PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC
- Narrative: Unknown, but fans anticipate a continuation of NieR Automata’s rich lorr.
The Future of NieR
Given NieR Automata’s enduring popularity and Square Enix’s track record, expectations for the next installment are sky-high. If the pattern holds, fans might see a reveal in 2025, with a potential release aligned with the current-gen console lifecycle’s final years.
