At the end of this month, we’re scheduled to have three streams dedicated to the NieR franchise. The series is really only two games, NeiR and NieR: Automata. The first game was more of a cult hit, but Automata was hugely successful, and people are excited to see what’s coming next. We’re hoping that new information about a new entry will be at the show, and the franchise’s oddball director will be there, too. And buddy, you better strap in, because it’s going to be a long one. You’ll need a beer or two, and Yoko Taro is definitely encouraging that.
Via Taro’s official Twitter, he said that the ‘talk show’ he’ll host as part of the streams will be 5 hours long. He says it’ll mostly be drinking beer, and he invites everyone watching to grab a few beers of their own and watch along (thanks to DualShockers for translating).
The other two streams will feature a concert and a stage play on March 29th (you can read more about it through here). Hopefully, we’ll get some kind of announcement among all the drinking. Square Enix recently filed a new trademark for the first NieR title, so a remaster or remake could be on the cards. We’ll just have to wait and see.
ニーア１０周年のオケコン・舞台が次々と中止になったので腹いせに１０時間放送やります。オケコンと舞台は有料配信だけど、観てほしい気持ちでイッパイです。無料部分は５時間くらいヌルヌルします。最後の方はどうせ飲むから皆さんもビール買って一緒にヤケクソに飲みしましょう。 https://t.co/IW0GciYYUs
