Producer Yosuke Saito has hinted at the possibility of a new NieR game. In a December 2024 interview with 4Gamer, he alluded to plans for the 15th anniversary, suggesting either a new game or significant series developments.

NieR Replicant, a remaster/remake of the original NieR, was the last major release. Fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry since NieR: Automata in 2017. While no official announcements have been made, the 15th-anniversary livestream fuels speculation and excitement for what's to come.
