“NieR Creator Yoko Taro Says He's 'Done with Working' but Fear of Dementia Keeps Him in Gam” — what this page in the network covers. Legendary game director Yoko Taro, known for the NieR and Drakengard series, has revealed he has no current projects and is 'done with working.' In an interview with Denfaminicogamer, Taro admitted he doesn't want to make games anymore, but a personal fear keeps him going: the risk of dementia. He believes that staying mentally active through game development may help stave off cognitive decline. Taro, who is in his 50s, has built a cult following for his unconventional storytelling and dark, philosophical themes.
His last major title, NieR: Automata, sold over 7.5 million copies worldwide, cementing his status as an auteur. Fans hoping for a new NieR or Drakengard game may be disappointed, as Taro suggests he is not actively planning another project.
