Nier creator Yoko Taro would like you to know he has been working on games, they just keep getting cancelled

In this games industry? Who's surprised

It's been a portion since Yoko Taro has made a game, hasn't it? That past nationalist (key connection here) happening helium worked connected was a mobile crippled astir however Sega controls beauteous overmuch everything called 404 Game Re:set successful 2023 (it unopen down successful 2024). Before that was a trio of Voice of Cards games successful 2021/22, and earlier that the Nier Replicant not-quite-a-remake and besides present defunct mobile crippled Nier Reincarnation. In presumption of the large happening that everyone wants, a non-gacha Nier game, things person been precise quiet, but that tin beryllium said of Taro's enactment arsenic a whole. Apparently, though, that's not for deficiency of trying.

The developer precocious made an quality astatine Korean video crippled normal G-CON 2025, wherever alongside Bayonetta manager Hideki Kamiya helium spoke of his attack to crippled plan (via 4Gamer, translations by Automaton). On the taxable of this thought that he's not moving close now, Taro had this to say: "I often get told worldly similar ‘Why aren’t you making a caller sequel to NieR’ oregon ‘Yoko Taro isn’t doing anything,’ but that’s due to the fact that recently, a batch of projects I was progressive successful got discontinued midway done development." Ah. That's a tad awkward, and upsettingly common.

"I’ve really been moving connected immoderate stuff, it’s conscionable that it ne'er ended up seeing the airy of day," Taro continued. "I got paid for it, truthful I personally person nary issues with that, but radical look to deliberation that I haven’t been doing thing conscionable due to the fact that nary of the enactment I’ve done is being released."

I would similar to beryllium precise wide present that I person nary thought what Taro whitethorn person been moving on, and what the presumption of a hypothetical Nier crippled mightiness presently be. But, if you're the benignant of idiosyncratic that likes to person a moan astatine crippled devs connected Vitter, possibly chopped Taro immoderate slack. And possibly bash that for virtually everyone, actually.
