After days of conspiracy, it finally became clear that the mysterious video of NieR: Automata’s previously unknown territory was the work of a highly talented remodeler.
“Church Story” was followed up by a Reddit user called sadfutago with a clip showing weird content, including a video of a door that Nier players have never seen before, including references to other games. It started when. It fascinated the Nier community (and many others) who couldn’t figure out if this was the ARG of the new game or the work of the modder-think the latter impossible by many. It was done.
After all, it wasn’t impossible to modify NieR: Automata as much as we thought it would. Twitch stream It was revealed that the whole story was certainly the work of a talented fan creating new content in the game. As you can see in the gallery below, the Twitch stream has ended, acknowledging that all of this was created in mods by three individuals, DevolasRevenge, Woeful_Wolf, and RaiderB.
“Thank you” reads the text slide that aired at the end of the stream. “Everything we shared is completely in-game and no editing is used. We have loved all the discussions and theories. It was a great journey. After many years It was exciting to see the community come together. We made all the hard work worth it. “
While some are disappointed that this doesn’t mean that official Nier content is coming soon, the fact that the team has begun adding in-game content to Automata is big news for the community. Many believed this wasn’t possible, but the mods seemed to open up the mod scene for the first time, promising to release a “new Blender add-on and scripting tool” on an open source basis.
The church scene itself will be released, allowing everyone to play what they see. “There are more stores,” the team said, including Raider B’s completed modding.
Subsequent slides apologized to the community for misleading people and said they wanted to give the impression that this was cut or secret content rather than a full-fledged ARG. They also said they weren’t trying to impersonate NieR’s creator, Taro Yokoo, who had been drawn into the mystery (and later) for the past few days. Praise for not ruining the mystery).
Finally, the team apologized for the “anti-climatic” consequences and stated that they lacked time to do so for personal reasons. However, many communities are celebrating the release to bring the community to life, even before the mods are released.
“This is the most crazy I’ve ever been crazy about, and it’s insane. I was here.” Genie Boy.. Seasalted-ice cream I think this is the new future of the series. “These people were able to get the attention of multiple people involved in NieR and reinvigorate their interest in the series. [Square Enix] You may think that your interest is definitely there, and you may seriously consider working on the series again. “
