Rumors Point to New Nier Game in Development by Original Creators
A new game from the original creative team behind the *Nier* series is reportedly in the works, and many fans believe it could be a new mainline *Nier* installment. According to a Famitsu report highlighted by industry insider Genki, *Nier* producer Yosuke Saito, director Yoko Taro, composer Keiichi Okabe, and former *Nier: Automata* designer Takahisa Taura are collaborating on an unannounced project.
While Square Enix has not confirmed a new *Nier* game, the timing has sparked speculation, especially as the franchise celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. The recent anniversary livestream included new merchandise, an online novel titled *Undecided Option*, and concert tour announcements—but no major game reveals.
With Taura recently founding Eel Game Studio, some speculate that this mystery title could be developed there. However, with the studio still ramping up operations, a full release could be years away. Fans are now hoping for at least a teaser or announcement in the near future.
