Yoko Taro's Shonen YoRHa Stage Play Returns In 2027
The YoRHa stage line, dormant since the 2020 production Shojo YoRHa Ver 1.1a, is being revived with its original writer and director, and the production is casting from open auditions rather than returning a fixed company.

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.
The restaging carries a production team that has stayed intact across the YoRHa stage line: Yoko Taro on original work and script, Matsuta Ichidai directing, Okabe Keiichi of MONACA on music. Square Enix executive producer Yosuke Saito also issued a comment, tying the revival to a request he made during a NieR:Automata anniversary livestream.
Auditions are open for the YoRHa unit and Resistance roles, with applications due October 18 at 23:59. Applicants must be men aged 16 to 41 as of November 28, 2027.
- Tokyo run: November 28 to December 5, 2027 at Theater G-Rosso
- Osaka run: December 16 to December 19, 2027 at Cool Japan Park Osaka TT Hall
