On the final day of its 30th anniversary celebration, Neon Genesis Evangelion announced that a brand-new series is in development, and it’s being written by none other than Nier: Automata creator Yoko Taro.

This marks a monumental collaboration between one of anime’s most influential franchises and one of gaming’s most visionary storytellers. Details remain scarce, so we’ll have to wait for more announcements.

The Dream Team Behind Evangelion’s New Series

Here are the talents confirmed to be working on the brand-new series:

• Writer: Yoko Taro (Nier: Automata)
• Directors: Toru Yatabe (Chainsaw Man, Weathering With You) and Kazuya Tsurumaki (Rebuild of Evangelion)
• Music: Keiichi Okabe (Nier: Automata)
