I think this story is mostly interesting to existing fans who already own the game.

This is all one of my discord channels has been talking about for days now, and like, maybe two or three of the people there have actually played the game. People like weird secret poo poo, that's why the backrooms took off as a phenomenon, and it definitely got a ton of people there interested in the game who weren't before.

Whatever this ends up being, props to whoever for effectively getting people to do the themes of the game. A+

I wonder if a Nier 3 or a Drakengard 4 would be more likely at this point

Also, do we have any idea when the Automata anime is coming out yet?

Nier is more likely to get studio support but Drakengard can't be wholly ruled out.

At this point I would be disappointed if there wasn't some big announcement. Actually I would be even more disappointed if it turned out to be some bullshit like an announcement for some limited time prizes or something for the gacha Nier game.

the fact that the bio has been updated to include "not official" and their latest post has a unique reddit filter tag on it now leads me to believe that this is just a "we figured out how to mod the game finally" post

Well, the actual concert version of the play said they were okay, and we know that either 2B or A2 was seen alive over 400 years after the ending. So, there's that.

Team of three modders worked in secret, and will be releasing their mod tools open-source or whatever. Sadly no ghosts.

I had a feeling that the stuff in the church was too on-the-nose lore-heavy fanservicey to be real cut content.

Cool saga, happy with the results!
I don't really want a close sequel to Automata anyway, so just having this fun adventure with the second gift of modding tools is pretty much the ideal outcome.
