Gaming enthusiasts waiting for a sequel to the acclaimed action RPG 'Nier: Automata' may need to exhibit some patience, as Square Enix hints at a future title but sets no clear release timeline. During the Korean game event G-STAR 2023, Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito teased that a new entry in the Nier series will be released as long as series creator Yoko Taro remains involved. Despite this, they are currently occupied with an unrelated project set for discussion in 2024.

'Nier: Automata', which launched in 2017, gained significant acclaim for its compelling narrative and engaging gameplay, achieving sales of over 7.5 million copies. Although there have been various promotions, crossovers, and even a remaster of the original 'Nier' game, there’s been no solid news on a direct follow-up to 'Automata'. Square Enix acknowledges the challenge of replicating the success of 'Automata', suggesting that expectations for a sequel's performance are realistic yet hopeful.

Fans can find solace in the ongoing presence of Nier content, including a new anime adaptation, while they await more concrete news on the franchise's future. With the upcoming non-Nier project and the eventual sequel on the horizon, the Nier universe continues to hold promise for its dedicated following.
