We haven't had a full on sequel to 2017's Nier Automata just yet, but the series' producer has promised more is on the way.
Come February, it will have been seven years since we had a major release in the Nier series. 2021 did see the release of Nier Reincarnation, but being a mobile game that doesn't have particularly involved gameplay, the scope of it just isn't the same as something like Automata. We haven't had a proper new game confirmed yet either, but at the Korean gaming event G-STAR 2023, series director Yoko Taro and producer Yosuke Saito made an appearance where they spoke about the game. As shared in English (but not directly translated) Genki_JPN, and initially reported by 4gamer, Saito noted that as long as Taro is alive, there will be Nier games.
It was, however, pointed out that there won't be a new game soon, as there's some kind of unclear obstruction to that happening. But Saito did also say that both him and Taro are currently working on another project together that they're hoping to discuss next year. Who knows what the scale of this project might be; both Saito and Taro have worked on some smaller scale projects like Voices of Cards since Automata's release, and Taro has worked on more than one mobile game.
