Nier mobile game Nier Reincarnation shuts down in April, Square Enix has announced.

The Nier Reincarnation story concludes with the release of the Finale: Reincarnation update on March 28, with the app service itself going dark on April 29.
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our players for your patronage over the 2.5 years since we launched on July 28, 2021,” Square Enix said.

Blockbuster hit Nier: Automata is approaching its seventh birthday, with no new mainline game so far announced by Square Enix. In November, Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito said that while Nier chief Yoko Taro is alive, they will release a new entry in the Nier series at some point.
Action RPG Nier: Automata launched in 2017 and wowed critics and fans with its beautiful locations and zany, fun-filled combat. It was a surprise breakout hit for Square Enix, and went on to sell an impressive 7.5 million copies. There have been many crossover events since, various Nier-related promotions, and a remaster of the first game. There's even a Nier anime.
