This 100% feels like Yoko Taro fucking around and maybe revealing a new Nier game.

That room looks very familiar to the final room of Nier Replicant. The flower is a staple of that game (I think Lunar Tear.) And appears to be the younger Nier model or Yonah. I am unfamiliar with Drakengard, but I've been told it's of the same "universe." In any event, to me this looks like cut content for referencing the original Nier game and the Shadowlord himself. - It also would be a 100% Nier thing to do if it's actually an upcoming DLC to announce it in such a way.

[@lonewolfgames7779]

That's what I was thinking.

Dont worrie im not familiar with Drakengard when i first got Neir didnt think was connected to another game till did more research, Yes Neir is tied to Drakengard was part of an Ending by devs who made Drakengard was intentionally was to be a joke ending or not, became something better that gaming community adores and loves. But even i never found this and either with truth or not this area exists but only time will tell if we actually get awnser of this area.

[@bstar777777]

I bet an ex dev that has some version of the source was able to mod it all in himself with little difficulty. I worked on Civ III back in the day and could have easily taken the old assets and made "impossible" changes. The fact that it's a PC build makes it even more plausible.

[@mrelba9176]

Potentially. I personally think this is just some mad viral marketing for the switch version.

This is the most likely scenario after a marketing campaign, right now the current moding tools do not allow for such a thing so it would have to be a dev or someone that worked on the port but it would also be very dangerous to do such a thing for legal reasons

@@suxkdaniles1677 Well yes there is still the possibility of one incredibly talented guy or group making a new tool for the game but this is still very unlikely with the engine used for Automata, so unlikely that I would say the possibility of someone recreating this part of the game in a completely different engine to make this video segment is more likely

[@GoldSrc_]

I don't think Square would let any dev have any source code about any game lol. Either this was done by Square, or is a hoax. No publisher would let any ex dev carry source code with them on their way out, and I'm sure if that were to happen, Square lawyers would be let loose to shut it down.

[@SuperNuketown2025]

Possible theories ranked from most to least likely: 1. Devs getting ready to release something and using an ARG to hype people up 2. Mod devs getting ready to release modding tools that would allow this level of editing, but are using an ARG to hype it up 3. Someone actually did discover a hidden area, and the reason for it not showing up until now is just a mystery, as it was presented by the original poster 4. Someone stole the source code and built the game themselves, and basically has full access to modding the game 5. Someone recreated the game in a different engine and creates this fake area 6. Someone faked this gameplay in blender or similar

[@SuperNuketown2025]

While it’s possible this is real, the evidence against it is as follows: dataminers finding nothing, this guys posting a PC build and lying about it being on console, making an account specifically for this, and saying that it’s only on 1.0 and he never connected his PS4 to the internet (very strange claim to make) The only way this is possible is if his game is modified from every other copy of the game in some way, which, maybe is possible, but one guy somehow getting a weird dev build of the game is just not something that happens

The reddit user just uploaded an update, he opened the box with 9S and it contains a document on Yonah, a character from the first Nier game and the girl with the flower on her chest. The enemy (dubbed by the community as Blobby) attacks the player and kills him. An interesting thing is the moveset of the enemy resembles that of Shadowlord, the brother of Yonah and the final antagonist of the first Nier game. Edit: They posted another update. After defeating Blobby, you can interact with a bird bath, the same bird bath in Shadowlord's Castle that gives the same riddles.

[@williamsurya2508]

could this be a marketing plot for the switch version lmao

[@Ni4JeR]

The Document about Yonah and "blobby" are already in the game. The document can be found in the copied library from NieR Replicant in The Tower, and you fight blobby as 9S on Route C during the main story

[@eric_t123]

The kid with the lunar tear on their chest might be Yonah from nier gestalt. it looks similar to the room where you meet Weiss for the first time in Nier Gestalt. whether this a hoax or not, i'm happy the game is once again getting so much attention but still. it would be pretty damn awesome if this is real though

[@MaxSchmidGame]

Actually there’s a lot of “evidence” in that room that makes it more evident that it’s Yonah in the shadowlord’s castle. On the ground near her are some objects that are found in the final room in Gestalt as well. Real or not, it’s really cool to see more callbacks to the original!

I kid you not, I had a similar experience with COD: Black Ops. I think it was the second last mission, where Hudson frees us and we roam around getting our memories back as Mason. My experience was SO UTTERLY BIZARRE, I thought it was a wild dream. MY experience playing the game were completely different cutscenes, completely different dialogue, with walls being torn down and tiles flying past my face. Mason's memories were shown completely different. As a matter of fact, Hudson wasn't the one who freed me, I freed myself. Mason just ripped the belts off his wrists and started walking, just like that. At the end, I did meet Hudson where he punches you, but the game got soft-locked. I couldn't move, Hudson couldn't move, the game didn't progress, no matter what I did, nothing worked. Keep in mind, I was eight, so I didn't know what I could do to resolve. I looked up on KZbin and saw that other people had experiences different to mine, so I just watched the KZbin gameplay and called it a day.

To be fair this might be a new piece of content that could be dlc or part of the switch port and Yoko Taro himself is doing all this. He's that kind of game dev. He does whatever he wants and he will confuse you for the fun of it. So I'm leaning towards it being possible new content that Yoko taro has made and is doing that as a way to promote it.

Can't people just search through the game files to find any evidence of this supposed secret room? I feel like that'd be a dead giveaway if it's real or not.

[@flowershopapt]

They have, and came up empty A KZbinr I watch actually made the claim that the user who started the mystery may be a designer who has access to possibly a cut area, which doesn't seem any less likely than it being real or a mod to me

[@tomutoo]

aren’t there also cases of secret rooms not being accessible through files though?

[@Kaliospectre]

@@flowershopapt The issue with it being a mod is the fact that there currently aren’t any tools to map edit as shown in the video, hence the theory of why it has to be a dev. If it IS a mod, then it’s a pretty brilliant way to announce to the community that “Hey, I made a breakthrough and you can create custom maps now.” But the user themselves is acting incredibly weird, replying to messages as if he wasn’t the one who posted the original video. As well as sending an encrypted message that when decrypted shows an ascii code version of one of the game’s song lyrics.

[@anatoliasmercenary.]

This whole thing made my brain THINK, like I ended up using 1000% of my brain for the first time in a while. First of all, modding geometrical maps like this is impossible, because we dont have the resources to do so, remember when the style switching mod in DMC3 was considered incredibly impressive? Theres no way this is a mod, it being real is very likely. The dialogue on the newest video of when A2 enters the church is a placeholder so it couldve been scrapped, OR the devs wanted to keep this but believed it could drag out the copied city segment. I am praying that its somehow a tease towards a new NieR game. Back to the modding community discussion, Lance McDonald, who reverse-engineered the ENTIRE game just to find the alleged “last easter egg” that Yoko Taro talked about. Even Lance himself confirmed that its impossible for this to be a mod.

[@Takeshi_Fujiwara]

Not gonna scroll through hundreds of comments to see if someone posted this, but for one: Futago means "twins" in Japanese. This could be a direct reference to Adam and Eve in Automata, Nier Replicant/Gestalt, or possibly many other things in Taroverse. It could even reference Taro and Saito in some way. This definitely smells of viral marketing. Regardless, it's exciting. Seeing something new, especially from a game half-a-decade old that seems like a dormant and undiscovered secret that gets the community frantic is fun. Which seems like the goal. I'm excited to see what comes of this. It reminds me of the old days when rumors were spread like wild fires. I could see this being something newly developed for the Switch release that is being teased as DLC/Update content for the existing versions and teases something new from Taro.

And I say that as someone i.e. an old gamer, who played the shit out of Starcraft Broodwars and played MG2. Oh also Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is the newest game and a remaster of the original NieR and available on PC, so NieR Automata is factually not the only one for PC.

[@joelman1989]

So somehow the least likely explanation is also the most likely explanation. That one of gamings most sought after developers, one of its only auteurs, found time to create this elaborate addition to his game and instead of patching it or announcing it, posted it on a sub Reddit anonymously with little explanation. If this is marketing it’s the greatest marketing scheme ever conceived. If it’s real it’s one of the most fascinating secrets in a video game in decades. If it’s a mod it’s one of the most baffling and impressive things a modder has ever modding into a game.
