‘Nier: Automata’ church secret revealed to be an elaborate mod
Nier: Automata community for days has been revealed to be an elaborate hoax from a group of modders. After footage of a secret room that led to a church was shared by Reddit user sadfutago on the game’s subreddit, the community was aflame with speculation as to whether or not this was a newly-discovered secret or some sort of elaborate hoax. It turned out to be the latter.The hoax was revealed in a recent Twitch stream (which currently doesn’t have a VOD) by the creators, with Lance McDonald outlining what they revealed during the stream on Twitter.The creator of the mod went through a new scenario in both new and old areas of Nier: Automata, before thanking the mod developers for their work and the community at large.At the end of the stream there was a lighthearted apology for the “potential frustration” caused by the scheme, with news that the in-game mod will also be made publicly available in the future.A message also took over the screen at the end, with the three modders each adding their own thanks too.pic.twitter.com/1WeuTG0Ko4— Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) July 29, 2022“Everything we have shared has been completely in-game, no editing was used,” began the message.
