NieR producer promises the series will continue as long as creator Yoko Taro is alive to work on it

Yoko Taro.

First reported by Japanese site 4Gamer.net and shared in English by Genki_JPN on Twitter, on November 16, NieR creator Yoko Taro and producer Yosuke Saito gave a presentation about the series as part of the South Korean G-Star conference. At the end, Saito promised that the series would continue as long as Yoko Taro was still alive and kicking, but they had nothing concrete to share at the moment.

The talk largely focused on the development of NieR: Automata, with intriguing anecdotes like how the game's distinctive character art was targeting a Japanese audience, with hopes that it would capture a "niche" market elsewhere. The two also dished on what they see as the competing, yet also complimentary demands of a game's producer versus a creative lead.
