According to FAMI, Nier series producer Yosuke Saito revealed that he is currently busy with two projects, including a new project with Nier's director Taro Yokoo and composer Keiichi Okabe.
Yosuke Saito said that he has been discussing with Taro Yokoo and Keiichi Okabe what to do, and it is estimated that it will not be long before some information is made public. Since Taro Yokoo and Keiichi Okabe are both members of the development team of "Nier", Yosuke Saito also joked about this new work, "It may be "Nier", but it may not be "Nier". Now he can't reveal much yet. At the same time, he worked on another game that was something that didn't exist in the game field today, but he couldn't devote himself to the project, so the development work was basically left to other production staff.
Producer Yosuke Saito, director Taro Yokoo, and composer Keiichi Okabe, the three core developers of the "Nier" series, have come together, and of course players will think of the new "Nier" series. At last year's G-STAR 2023 event, Yosuke Saito and Taro Yokoo said that the "Nier" series would continue as long as Yokoo was alive, and they were working on a new game that would be released in 2024.
With the Final Fantasy series in recent years and SE's high-investment original IPs in recent years, SE may also bet on its own classic IPs. According to Yosuke Saito, his focus is on a new work with Taro Yokoo, and perhaps we are really waiting for Taro Yokoo's new work (Knife).
