Bizarre imagery, sure, but this is Yoko Taro we&#8217;re talking about, the man who wears a moon for a face. I&#8217;ve no doubt that if a new Nier game came out about tentacle robots with perfectly spherical rumps, it&#8217;d spend 50 hours both justifying that and making you cry about it. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, turns out it was all an April Fool&#8217;s bit, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NieR_JPN\/status\/2039168554541679088\" target=\"_blank\">Nier X account<\/a>: &#8220;The &#8216;Nier: COSMIC HORROR&#8217; announced at 0:00 today is an April Fool&#8217;s project. We received a tremendous response and caused quite a stir. We look forward to your continued support for the Nier series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans aren&#8217;t taking it great\u2014there&#8217;s a spray of crying gifs in the post&#8217;s comments, interspersed with the occasional .png of Wolverine telling Yoko to, er, experience intercourse with himself. And hey, look\u2014it&#8217;s easy to give a smug little chuckle and say &#8216;you fools, it&#8217;s April 1st!&#8217; but, to take the side of the fooled here:<\/p>\n<p>This is a beloved series without a proper, non-mobile entry in almost a decade, with a brimming fanbase, who just recently got told the series itself would return. Looking at the post, it&#8217;s obviously a bit low-budget for an announcement, but the robot design being weird is the furthest thing from a clear-cut joke because again, I say, this is Yoko. <\/p>\n<p>In other words this is one of those annoying April Fools jokes that is <em>just <\/em>believable enough to make you double-take, hence the existence of this article. It is my grim duty to cut off your supply of copium, and for that I am very sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway\u2014there&#8217;s still likely a Nier project in the works, but it isn&#8217;t Nier: Cosmic Horror. Maybe the robot design&#8217;ll pop up in whatever&#8217;s in progress over at Square Enix, but as for now, those steel cakes were a lie.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2c6d07fa-9469-4a31-8830-0cdc491e1964\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/no-there-isnt-going-to-be-a-new-lovecraftian-nier-game-with-a-caked-up-tentacle-robot-despite-cope-to-the-contrary.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2c6d07fa-9469-4a31-8830-0cdc491e1964\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/no-there-isnt-going-to-be-a-new-lovecraftian-nier-game-with-a-caked-up-tentacle-robot-despite-cope-to-the-contrary\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nier series is deeply beloved and, alas, deeply underserved.
