NieR franchise enthusiasts have long harbored slim hopes for a sequel, with very little evidence emerging in recent years. Despite occasional speculation<\/a><\/span>, <\/span>there has been<\/span> no solid indication from the studio or producers regarding any ongoing projects.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

However, that changed recently as the team <\/span>has<\/span> disclosed that activity is <\/span>indeed<\/span> underway behind the scenes, yet<\/span>, whether this entails a new NieR installment or an entirely fresh intellectual property remains uncertain, so <\/span>let’s<\/span> dive into the details below.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Team Behind the NieR Franchise Is Currently Developing a New Game<\/h2>\n

In a recent conversation between former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and NieR producer Yosuke Saito (as reported by Gematsu<\/a>), <\/span>it was disclosed<\/span> that Saito will be reuniting with series director and composer Yoko Taro and Keiichi Okabe to embark on a fresh project. However, Saito emphasized <\/span>that whether<\/span> this venture would result in a new NieR installment or an entirely original intellectual property remains uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the discussion, Saito expressed his long-held desire to collaborate with Taro and Okabe, hinting at forthcoming developments. He stated,<\/span> “<\/span>I’ve<\/span> been talking about wanting to do something with Yoko and Okabe for some time now. <\/span>I’ll<\/span> have something a bit more put-together to say in the not-too-distant future, so please stay tuned. It might be NieR<\/span>, it<\/span> might not be NieR. <\/span>That’s<\/span> about all I can say for now<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While this revelation might disappoint fans deeply invested in the intricacies of the NieR universe (count me among them), <\/span>it’s<\/span> still an exciting and hype-inducing prospect to witness the creative minds behind one of the most beloved hack-and-slash\/JRPG titles of our time venture into new territory. So <\/span>regardless<\/span> of whether this project unfolds within the NieR continuity or as a <\/span>completely<\/span> fresh endeavor, we are all excited.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
Whether it be a new game or a NieR sequel, fans of the franchise and the studio behind the games are more than ready for whatever new journey awaits us in this new title. (Picture: Square Enix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Saito himself seems enthused about the endeavor, expressing,<\/span> “<\/span>I’m<\/span> doing various things with the idea of creating something that does not yet exist. I <\/span>can’t<\/span> devote my time to that fully, so most of it has been left to the staff, but <\/span>it’s<\/span> turning into something quite interesting. <\/span>I’m<\/span> looking forward to the day we can announce it<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, it appears that Saito is committed to delivering something innovative, whether it blossoms within the NieR universe or emerges as a standalone creation. <\/span>Needless to say,<\/span> the fans are more than<\/span> ready to dive into whatever new journey the Saito and co. are cooking up, so we say, let them cook.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
