[QUOTE="Admin, post: 66999, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2021/05/11/nier-reincarnation-1620693951730.png[/IMG] Even if you enjoyed NieR: Automata and its predecessor, NieR: Replicant, you could be forgiven for not knowing that game actually got a sequel, and a pretty good one too. Unfortunately, that sequel, mobile game NieR: Re[in]carnation, hasn't been available for almost a year after being taken offline in April of 2024. But fortunately, a Square Enix website is dropping some pretty wild in-universe hints that this might be about to change. As pointed out to us on BlueSky by [URL='https://bsky.app/profile/thewillarowe.bsky.social/post/3lnnoessmzk2k']journalist Willa Rowe[/URL], an official NieR website that's currently publishing a NieR special movel to commemorate the series 15th anniversary is teasing something NieR: Re[in]carnation-related via cryptic in-text hints and webpage source code. As a part of today's update to the novel, the [URL='https://www.jp.square-enix.com/nier-anniversary/15th-novel/e58f8b/space/']just-published chapter 4[/URL] ends with some strange text that reads as follows: What does THAT mean? Who knows? But wait, there's more. If you hit "View Source" on that page, there are even more weird teases in the code comments, as hinted at above. They read, in order: Okay, there's a lot here, some of which is inscrutable and some of which makes sense. "The Cage", for instance, is the main location where most of NieR: Re[in]carnation takes place. And "Her" is a key character (yes, that's Her name) in Re[in]carnation as well. Between that and the hyperlink, it's pretty obvious what all this is referencing, but what exactly will become of it remains anyone's guess. The two final chapters of the novel are scheduled to publish on May 2, a week from today, and it's possible it may also pull back the curtain on whatever's happening here. Fans are speculating that it may be [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/NieRReincarnation/comments/1k7l4ym/new_nier_15th_anniversary_web_novel_chapters_14/']leading up to some sort of port or re-release of NieR: Re[in]carnation[/URL], which has been completely unplayable anywhere since it went offline last year.
