Overview
- Speaking on stage in South Korea, the Nier creator said several in-development titles he worked on in recent years were halted mid-production before any public reveal.
- He described the outcome as not a personal problem since he was paid, reiterating that releasing something "odd" or not quite right would be worse.
- Multiple outlets cite 4Gamer’s report of the panel with an English translation provided by Automaton.
- No new games were announced or confirmed in the remarks, and it remains unclear whether a previously teased non-Nier collaboration with producer Yosuke Saito was among the cancellations.
- Recent visible work from Taro includes the Voice of Cards trilogy and Nier Replicant, as well as Sega’s 404 Game Re:set, which launched in 2023 and shut down in 2024.
