The Nier series will apparently continue for as long as its key producer and director, Yoko Taro, remains alive.

However, that doesn’t mean a Nier project is actually in development at PlatinumGames right now. Saito reportedly commented that circumstances prevent PlatinumGames from releasing another Nier game right now, but didn’t elaborate on what those circumstances are.

Following the event in South Korea, Taro jokingly responded to the comments made at the convention. “Did I say such self-important things? Sorry,” the Nier lead commented in the tweet just below, even though it was apparently Saito that made the comment about the Nier series continuing for as long as he was alive.
