The Nier workforce is not shy about good-naturedly taunting or riling up their followers, and that is precisely what collection producer Yosuke Saito did in a current speak. Talking with former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi in Weekly Famitsu, Saito strongly implied that he is engaged on a brand new challenge with Nier collection creator/director Yoko Taro and collection composer Keiichi Okabe. Nonetheless, he cannot say a lot about it for the foreseeable future.
As translated by Gematsu, Saito stated the next: “I have been speaking about eager to do one thing with Yoko and Okabe for a while now. I am going to have one thing a bit extra put-together to say within the not-too-distant future, so please keep tuned. It may be Nier, it won’t be Nier. That is about all I can say for now.”
Yoko Taro’s playful public persona can lead to some confusion about the way forward for the collection. For instance, in a Holiday 2021 message, Yoko joked that the Nier collection will get no new entries, until he will get a pile of cash, after all. The final entry within the collection, Nier Replicant, which reimagined the unique Nier, got here out in 2021. Yoko not too long ago garnered headlines when he stated that the current PS5 sport Stellar Blade is healthier than his famed Nier Automata in an interview, citing its next-gen graphics and character design as explicit highlights.
