Summary

  • Nier creator, Yoko Taro, is well known for being enigmatic, and apparently loves to tease future game content

  • To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the franchise, Square Enix has been releasing chapters of a novelisation on the Japanese Nier anniversary website

  • Chapter 6 of this novelisation seems to tease a potential resurrection of the mobile game, Nier Reincarnation, with references to its previous characters and storylines, as well as the moniker ‘recovery protocol initialised’ alongside a link to the official Nier Reincarnation website

  • There is speculation that this could indicate a re-release or port of the game, or even a completely new game utilising the Reincarnation storyline

  • Yoko Taro is currently working on the highly anticipated action role-playing game, Forspoken, slated for release in 2024, so any new Nier game is likely a long way off yet.
