There was much ado last week about the upcoming video game Nier: Automata, and its alleged shot of a sexy combat android’s butthole. The photo was funny, and it had horny gamers ready to buy a copy based on the protagonist’s backside. But (butt?) the question remained, was it real? Did Square Enix really go there? Well, now we know.
This is the semi-explicit screenshot that was going around:
And this is, according to sources on Twitter and Reddit, the real thing. Notice the lack of butthole, “lovingly rendered” or otherwise:
That concludes the case of the video game anus, for whatever it’s worth. The fake shot has already inspired gobs of Rule 34 porn of the character, whose name is 2B, and it’s done plenty to help juice up the hype machine for the game.
Congratulations, video game Twitter. You’re a bunch of lovable(?) perverts.
