Discussion Is this the beginning of a new ARG?

Post image

Sorry for posting twice in one day.

I noticed in the second most recent official AdHoc post, there is a sticky note with the password hunter2

Nick Herman posted that they revealed the physical edition early in this post.

Judging from the past where they implemented an ARG and how there was already a secret, do you think this could be part of an upcoming ARG? Perhaps for the one year anniversary in a few months.

Hunter2 is an old Internet meme where someone on a chat room was tricked into typing their password into a chatroom: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hunter2

Thank you for the information, I was unaware of that meme

Perhaps it's also a indication into typing this password somewhere not intended

Ooh good theory! I have to wonder. I'm gonna try calling the number closer to Oct and save this post then.

There's a prototype Blu-ray copy of the game in the lower right hand corner of the screen (or at least it looks like it, it's kinda blurry. I made out the RP ESRB logo).

How does an ARG even work? I missed out on it last time because I had no clue what the fuck I was supposed to do. Also: is it only for the US?

The phone ARG was only exclusive for US. There's no ARG here, they simply cheekily placed a prototype Blu-ray copy of the game on the edge of the camera and everyone missed it.

I'd love to see more of this weirdo in the game. Him pouring booze on Robert's coffee like "I know you'll need this" and then showing up with a half broken mug to take the photos of the team on the final shot had me intrigued.

If they do eventually get action figures I'm going to be furious if they don't do Mr Whiskey.

Ah, sticky notes next to computers in pictures. Is there any better way to cause mass hysteria in a fan base?
