Background: A dedicated fan uncovered a hidden area in NieR: Automata that had not been widely shared. Recently, online chatter suggested that NieR: Automata players had discovered a secret spot, unofficially dubbed the “church.” Many believed this to be a game secret, but it turned out to be a modification created by fans. The modders themselves explained the origin and confirmed the discovery was not the result of official content.
It became clear that such adjustments are possible, even though many players previously assumed they were not. The creators thanked the community for the support and admitted they did not anticipate the level of excitement. They also clarified that the impressive visuals and sequences were not achieved through edited footage or cinematic tricks; everything happened within the game. The modders also named the players who contributed to the change.
Looking ahead, the NieR: Automata mod team promised to publish the modification so that broader audiences could explore the new location themselves.
This is what it looked like in game:
