Fans of both Evangelion and NieR have exciting news: a new Evangelion series is in development! Yoko Taro, the creative mind behind NieR, is writing the story, and Keiichi Okabe, who composed the music for NieR, will also be creating the soundtrack.
The announcement about the continuation of Evangelion was made on the series’ official website as part of its 30th anniversary. This article reporting on the revival is translated using machine translation.
Yoko Taro is writing the script, and the animation is being produced by CloverWorks, with support from Studio Khara, known for Rebuild of Evangelion. Keiichi Okabe, a composer famous for his work on NieR, the Drakengard series, Hyrule Warriors, and other projects, is creating the music.
Kazuya Tsurumaki, known for his work on Rebuild of Evangelion, and Toko Yatabe, from Chainsaw Man, will direct the new Evangelion series. However, details are scarce, and it’s currently unclear if the series will retell the original story or present a completely new narrative.
Yoko Taro has mentioned before that Evangelion was a big influence on his games, and it’s easy to see why. Like Evangelion, his work mixes exciting action with thought-provoking philosophical ideas—and often features endings that are just as confusing or strange.
It’s currently unclear if the development of the new Evangelion project will impact Taro and Okabe’s work on NieR. Fans have been waiting for a new NieR game for about nine years, as the last installment, NieR: Automata, came out in 2017.
There’s reason to be optimistic about the future of the game. A recent trailer celebrating 10 million sales ended with the message “NieR: Automata to be continued…”, hinting that more NieR (and possibly more Automata) content is planned.
It might be a while before we hear more about what Yoko Taro has planned for both Evangelion and NieR. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more news.
