When it comes to games industry personalities, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yoko Taro is right up there amongst the most eccentric. As a result, fans watch his every move like hawks. This is why when Taro does actually end up doing something slightly mysterious and cryptic, his fanbase has an absolute meltdown.Unless you're severely sleep-deprived, you'll know that today is the start of a brand new year. Many developers have wished their fans a happy 2023, but Yoko Taro has taken a more mysterious approach, sharing an image via his official Twitter account.Related: No Game Has Taken A Bigger Risk Than Nier: AutomaܫtaThe image in question features a grey background with the date 2023 written in large white text. What makes the image a little strange is the▨ black silhouette underneath the date, which appears to depict some k෴ind of rabbit creature/robot with glowing white eyes. It's very strange, and feels like a lot more than Yoko Taro simply wishing his fans a happy new year.

Yoko Taro, despite all of his quirks, is one of the more innovative game developers out there at the moment, constantly trying to effect players outside of games as well as in them. Nier: Automata fans know fully well what this man is capable of, and now he's emotionally tormenting Sinoalice fans in exactly the same way. Be aware that there are major spoilers for Nier: Automata past this point.Those who got to the credits of Nier: Automata will know that Yoko Taro forces players to completely wipe their saves in order to get the game's true ending. There are narrative reasonings behind it, but since we don't have all day I won't go into it here. All you need to know is that Yoko Taro is up to his old tricks again, this time with Sinoalice, a mobile title he directs that released in Japan back in 2017 but only came to the West a couple of years ago.Related: Nier: 🦩Automata Is Right To Change Things Up For The ♐Anime Players oꦛn the game's Taiwanese server have been experiencing Sinoalice's final chapter today and - as revealed by a Sinoalice fan account that translates updates into English - those who clear it will be presented with an ending cutscene. Once the cutscene is over, players will be forced out of their accounts and will no longer be able to log into them, essentially deleting them from existence and mimicking the final scene in Nier Automata.
