Considering how successful Nier: Automata and its never-ending supply line of 2B merch has been, it's somewhat shocking that publisher Square Enix hasn't followed it up with another new mainline game in the eight years since. We might not need to wait too much longer to see what's next, though, as Square Enix exec and Nier series producer Yosuke Saito has teased something for next year.
Speaking to 4Gamer, translated by Gematsu, about his hopes for 2026, Saito noted that next year marks the ninth anniversary of Nier: Automata. "We're also preparing just a little something, so please don't get too excited with anticipation," he said.
