![NieR Re[in]carnation: a fan revival, not an official relaunch](https://tunigamers.com/cache/blog_medium/blog-images/tcai/nier-replicant-2026-guide-how-to-play-th-nlTNhqJ1.webp)
The relevant revival project is Lunar Tear, built around NieR Re[in]carnation after its official service closed in April 2024. The project’s own policy describes independent, non-commercial preservation work.
Who is behind the revival?
Lunar Tear is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix or Applibot. Its policy says it does not distribute the original game client or assets and expects users to have a lawful copy. This is different from a publisher reopening its servers or releasing a new sequel.
Avoid confusing the games
NieR Replicant and NieR Re[in]carnation are different titles; the earlier article confused their identities. The cover is an illustration from NieR: Automata, not a screenshot of the revival. Consult the project’s documentation for its scope and limitations. We have not installed or tested its software, and the announcement is not a security or compatibility guarantee.
