Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of NieR Series
On July 6, 2025, starting at 15:00 JST, Nico Nico Live will host a special program titled "NieR's Summer Break Request Hour" to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the beloved NieR series. The event promises to engage fans with its blend of music and developer insights, spotlighting one of gaming's most memorable soundtracks.
The NieR saga began with the release of
NieR Replicant and
NieR Gestalt in April 2010 by Square Enix. Fast forward to 2025, and the series continues to captivate audiences, most notably with the release of the highly acclaimed
NieR: Automata, which ventured beyond gaming into comics and anime adaptations. The unique fusion of narrative depth and melancholic music has garnered widespread acclaim, exemplified by awards such as the "Best Score and Music" for
NieR Replicant in 2017 and
NieR: Automata in 2021 at The Game Awards.
During the special broadcast, viewers will enjoy a unique format that combines music requests with live discussion. The show is split into two parts: a "driving segment," where tracks requested via comments will be played, and a "studio segment," featuring prominent members of the development team, including Yosuke Saito (Producer), Taro Yoko (Creative Director), Keiichi Okabe (Composer), and Takahisa Taura (Senior Game Designer for
NieR: Automata). Fans will have the opportunity to engage with the developers as they share behind-the-scenes stories, discuss fan concerns, and take song requests.
In addition to the thrilling content, Nico Nico Premium members will gain access to extended discussions and supplementary content, enhancing their viewing experience. Exclusive merchandise will also be up for grabs through a special giveaway.
