Announced earlier in the month, it was unclear whether the Nier Reincarnation crossover event with Final Fantasy XIV would release outside of Japan. It was initially announced to have a summer 2022 release window during a Japanese livestream. Now, fans can rejoice that it will be getting a worldwide release later this year.

The crossover event still doesn’t have a specific date. Nier Reincarnation’s most recent content roadmap shows that the Final Fantasy XIV crossover event comes after May. Seeing as the roadmap was posted on the game’s official English account, this outright confirms that Japanese players won’t be the only ones to experience the upcoming crossover.

This isn’t the first time the Nier franchise collaborated with the extremely popular MMORPG. Final Fantasy XIV started introducing Nier Automata raids in 2020, with further Nier content coming last year.

While waiting for the Final Fantasy XIV event, Nier Reincarnation has plenty to tide players over until then. The return of the Nier Automata crossover event ends in March, with the Nier Replicant crossover being reintroduced in April. Nier Reincarnation’s main story also gets a new chapter next month, along with several additions over the coming months including a hidden stories feature and extra difficulties for exploration and event quests.
