Square Enix announced SQUARE ENIX GAME CONTEST 2026 on May 20, with a total prize pool of 1 billion yen. Executive officer Yosuke Saito, who supervises the contest office, said the company plans to select winning entries from the submissions. He said the goal is to help new developers get noticed in a market where nearly 20,000 works are released on Steam annually.
Kyodo Medias announced that Shonen YoRHa ver 1.2, a stage play sharing a worldview with NieR:Automata, will be restaged in 2027. Yoko Taro handles original work and script, Matsuta Ichidai directs, and Okabe Keiichi composes. Tokyo performances run November 28 to December 5, 2027 at Theater G-Rosso; Osaka runs December 16 to December 19 at Cool Japan Park Osaka TT Hall. Auditions close October 18.
Scholastic's Graphix imprint will publish Yusuke Saitoh's slice-of-life manga Chuck and the Girl in English. The single volume, in black-and-white right-to-left format, is scheduled for release on August 3, 2027. The story follows a girl sent to live with her grandmother in Yokohama, Japan.
In a Famitsu interview, producer Yosuke Saito said he insisted on adding 'to be continued...' to the ninth-anniversary video for NieR:Automata, though he does not know if a sequel will happen. Director Yoko Taro joked the message means they want to keep making money. The pair also discussed an April Fool's joke that teased a new NieR project.
