We didn’t know they were way beyond it too.” “The things they showed were way beyond where Nier: Automata was at the time.
DRAKENGARD 3 NIER CONNECTION MOD
“Because it is,” said one modder in the Discord who was vocal that this was unlikely to be a mod and did not want to be named ou tof fear of harassment. And that’s a pretty good question to ask. You might ask how this could be a mod when actual modders swore up and down that it’s not feasible with what current modding is capable of. The three had been working on this for years and plan to release these tools to the public in the coming weeks. The group implied that they were planning for a much more drawn-out reveal, but the fact that this had gone so far outside the bubble of just the Nier community convinced them to rush the timeline a bit.Īt the end of the video, a slide reading “THANK YOU” came on screen, pointing out that absolutely everything shown was in-game using new mod content tools.
DRAKENGARD 3 NIER CONNECTION FULL
The three modders involved - DevolasRevenge, Woeful_Wolf, and RaiderB - showed the full extent of the new content that had been created and a video that explained the deception.
The full VOD of the stream can be found here, but ultimately it was revealed that the entire thing had in fact been the work of mods. Most everyone had at this point come around to the idea this was a fake, but they were largely just along for the ride. The Twitch chat became a flood of ASCII art of Emil’s face, while hundreds of users kept reposting “Become as Gods,” a chant used by robots absorbed in a religious fervor in a later chapter of Automata. Instead, they started posting stranger things, like giant statue-esque models of the Intoners from Drakengard 3, seemingly ripped from the game’s infamous final boss fight.Ĭaptioned simply “zinnia” and using the flair “Help,” the posts continued until they revealed a Twitch channel connected to the Zinnia name where they wrote that all would be revealed in a few hours in Japanese.Īs the countdown started to the eventual finale, the community got progressively more unhinged. Over the week, the mask increasingly began to slip, with user sadfutago no longer taking the role of a child whose mother won’t let them upload videos to YouTube from the PlayStation 4. The initial story linked above shows how a person came to Reddit and cryptically - through supposed youth and inexperience - revealed unseen content from Nier: Automata, a church in the copied city that presented cascading references to Nier: Replicant as more and more was shown. Now it has been revealed that the whole thing is a very clever and well-made fake, we can start to look back at the evidence and put the pieces together. At the time, no one really knew what was going on, but no real answer really seemed to make sense. Earlier this week, we reported on a strange church that had seemingly been discovered in Nier: Automata via a Reddit post in the Nier community.
