This being the great mystery of the last days in the industry. All eyes are turning to NieR Automata, the work of platinumgames under the direction of Yoko Tarō. And all because of a hidden church that has appeared six years after the release of the title.
As we discussed a few days ago, a single person in the world at the moment is able to access it. Nobody knows what kind of process or requirements must be taken into account to activate the door that allows entry and the veracity of the footage shown has even been questioned.
Thanks to a new sequence, we can see how the user has managed to open the chest that is in the church, which causes new scenes and even combat against an enemy. On the other hand, when defeated, you can interact with a bird pond, which has been brought over from NieR Replicant.
A new video has been posted where the player opens the locked chest in the room, revealing new storyline elements and an encounter with a new enemy. None of these assets exist on any known datamined build of the game across PC or PS4 and can’t be replicated by known modders yet. pic.twitter.com/tvx0WojS2o

A new video has been posted showing that after defeating the weird enemy, the player can interact with a bird bath, an asset which has been ported over from the game Nier Replicant, including the same questions that need to be answered in that game. I have answered incorrectly. pic.twitter.com/mhQxO3HELa

A new video has been released showing that after defeating the strange enemy, the player can interact with a birdbath, an item that was carried over from Nier Replicant, including the same questions that need to be answered in that game. He answers incorrectly.
Although not all the elements seen are new, it is key to emphasize again that we are talking about a commercial edition of NieR Automata. If this was a pre-release version, the game would need to be played on a PS4 dev kit, which is not the case.
The creators add fuel to the fire
While the community has entered a spiral of conspiracy and mystery, it is the creators of the work who observe behind the scenes. Yosuke Saito, producer of the game, has shared a couple of tweets in which it seems that he knows more than he says. The same happens with the father of the child, Yoko Tarowhich remains expectant before the advances of the players.

ヨコオタロウ氏ならやりかねないことだ。

This is something that Yoko Taro could do. LOL
