Yoko Taro’s new game ‘might be Nier, it might not be Nier’
The leadership behind Nier are also developing a game seperate from the series
Nier series producer Yosuke Saito has teased fans about his upcoming game with Nier director Yoko Taro and Nier composer Keiichi Okabe.
Speaking in Famitsu (via Gematsu), Nier series producer Saito said, “I’ve been talking about wanting to do something with Yoko and Okabe for some time now.
“I’ll have something a bit more put-together to say in the not-too-distant future, so please stay tuned. It might be Nier, it might not be Nier. (Laughs.) That’s about all I can say for now.”
Late last year, Saito and Taro attended the G-STAR 2023 event in South Korea where they teased both a new project, and the future of the Nier series.
Saito reportedly said that as long as Taro remained alive, the Nier series would continue, though he also claimed there were circumstances that prevented them from releasing another one soon.
Developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix, Nier: Automata was originally released for PS4 and PC in 2017, before making its way to Xbox One in 2018.
A Switch version of the game was released in October 2022, adding new costumes exclusive to that port.
During the same presentation, the pair said that they had a new game in the works separate from the series that they planned to show at some point in 2024.
