Yoko Taro, the creator of Nier, has confirmed he is the creative director of a brand-new Square Enix game. During a video presentation live stream for the upcoming Nier Replican ver. 1.22474487139, the director revealed that he has started on his next project at Square Enix. He is currently the creative director of Nier Reincarnation, a Nier mobile game. As reported by Gematsu, Taro says his next game is an indie, digital-only title that is “difficult to explain,” and a “somewhat unusual game,” that is mysterious and he has “no idea how to explain or sell.” So basically a Yoko Taro game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/25/nier-replicant-ver122474487139-opening-movie"] Taro is likely being humble as Nier Automata has sold 5.5 million units worldwide since its 2017 launch.
