The NieR series is in its 15th anniversary year, with a character-themed gaming chair, a new orchestral concert tour, and a crossover in a Square Enix multiplayer game all announced in late May 2026.
NieR's 15th anniversary has brought a cluster of new merchandise and events in late May 2026. Ask Co. opened pre-orders on May 29 for a limited-edition gaming chair themed after Kaine from NieR Replicant. The chair uses a Seki Furniture Contieaks frame, costs about 70,000 yen, and features Emil and Lunar Tear embroidery. Pre-orders run through June 14, with shipments starting in early September.
On May 28, a new symphonic concert tour was announced: NieR:Orchestra Concert 12026 [YoRHa]. The tour includes a full orchestra and chorus, original vocalists J'Nique Nicole and Emi Evans, a giant screen, and a new narrated story set before NieR:Automata. Creator Yoko Taro and composer Keiichi Okabe are scheduled to attend the Seattle show. Anime News Network is giving away two pairs of tickets.
Earlier in the month, Square Enix added a NieR:Automata collaboration to its early access murder mystery game Killer Inn on Steam. The collaboration offers paid 2B and 9S skins and free items. A free demo with three playable characters and a 75% off sale also went live on May 22.
