Square Enix has announced an event to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the NieR franchise, which became world-famous after the release of the action game NieR: Automata.

Many gamers are eagerly awaiting the sequel to the 2017 hit game and it's quite possible that the upcoming show will announce it.

Here's What We Know

The Japanese company has announced that a stream will take place on 19 April at 11:00am (CEST) and will be available on YouTube and Japanese platform Niconico. The broadcast will feature NieR series creator Yoko Taro, series producer Yosuke Saito, composer Keiichi Okabe, and NieR: Automata game designer Takahisa Taura.

Rumours about the development of a new NieR installment have been circulating for several years now, and Yoko Taro has repeatedly hinted that he's working on a sequel to the series, so of course fans of the franchise shouldn't miss the themed show, as the chance of an announcement is pretty big. And we'll remind you that Human androids have conquered the world: sales of action game NieR: Automata exceeded 9 million copies and continue to grow.
