As shared by Gematsu, Yoko Taro (NieR director), Yosuke Saito (producer), and Keiichi Okabe (composer) discussed their future plans in an interview with Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu. Saito explained that they are currently working on "something a little more fleshed out" that will be revealed in the "not-so-distant future."
As for whether this secret project is a new NieR game, Saito said, "It could be NieR, it could not be NieR. That's about all I can say about it right now." He also said that what they're working on now "doesn't exist yet," but is slowly turning into something interesting.
When NieR Gestalt (later remade as NieR Replicant) came out, it pushed the boundaries of storytelling, with the main story changing with each new playthrough. NieR Automata took this to a whole new level with its 26 different endings, one for each letter of the alphabet. The games also explored heavy topics such as whether machines and androids can have emotions – and whether they should be allowed to.
