Nier creator Yoko Taro says that, contrary to the fanbase's jokes, he has been working on games recently – it's just that they keep getting cancelled.
2017's Nier Automata took director Yoko Taro from a developer who makes cult hits (see: the original Nier and Drakengard) to superstar status. It also made the Nier franchise into the powerhouse that it is today – with Square Enix often using 2B as a mascot when it comes to crossover collabs in titles like Soul Calibur 6, Stellar Blade, and Final Fantasy 14. Usually, you'd want to strike while the iron is hot, but aside from a now-dead mobile game and a remake of the original Nier, there's hardly been a peep from the series.
