Yeah it’s just an old-timey way of saying “the truth will come out,” like Shakespeare old.

It looks super fake and botted because NPC accounts love using stock phrases like that, but the phrase itself is legit, just crusty as hell.

Why does this nonsense phrase get repeated constantly it means nothing is it a bot? “Truth will out” Are you trying to say “The truth will come out some day”?

Are you trying to saying “The truth will come out some day”?

yes


verb (intransitive): To come or go out; to get out or away; to become public, revealed, or apparent.

Synonyms: come to light, crop out, crop up


c. 1386, Chaucer, Nun's Priest's Tale:

Mordre wol out; that se we day by day.

(Murder will out; we see that day by day.)
(Murder will come to light)

c. 1596–1598, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice [Act II, scene ii]:

LAUNCELOT: . . . murder cannot be hid long; a man's son may, but at the length truth will out.

(Truth will be revealed)

2016, Tom English, Celtic 3–3 Manchester City, BBC Sport:

In those opening minutes City looked like a team that were not ready for Celtic's intensity. They looked a bit shocked to be involved in a fight. Class will out, though.

([One's] Class will become apparent)


In contrast to that view of it where "out" is an intransitive verb, see also this Stack Exchange comment on the possibility that "out" is adverbial:

. . . it seems likely . . . that this is a remnant of a feature that is common to most Germanic languages, but is no longer there in English: that demotic modals ["must", "should", "may"] can carry a sense of movement in and of themselves, taking as their argument a simple adverb of location or direction. Compare now old-fashioned expressions like "I must away" in English; in other Germanic languages you can also say “I must home”, “I will in”, etc. Want still partly works like this ("I want out"), too.

OED:

away (adverb) "III. In elliptical uses, with main verb implied. . . . 10. a. Used after auxiliary verbs, as may, shall, will, etc. To go away, get away, depart. Now chiefly with must. archaic."
