They can be clever references to other games, movies or shows, deep worldview details, or just plain silly additions. know One developer added it in there for a laugh, hoping some dedicated player would stumble across it and have a laugh.
In celebration of the gaming Easter eggs that make us smile, laugh, and chuckle, we've compiled some of the funniest ones for your viewing pleasure.
Baldur's Gate 3 Cabbage Seller
The newest video game Easter egg on our list comes from a cabbage seller. Baldur's Gate 3Geezer Loris. A merchant's ill-fated cabbage cart falls over, Avatar: The Last Airbender Stiles complains about the difficulty of transporting cabbages to town when talking to Tav (along with the exclamation of “My cabbages!”) as another amusing reference to how much trouble they've already caused, according to players, in a unique line of dialogue only available while playing as the Monk class. Atlas.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Gant Bridge Sign
At the top of Gant Bridge GTA San AndreasThere is a hidden sign in the game that reads “There are no Easter eggs here, please leave.” This location is not accessible on foot, but can be reached by aircraft or jetpack once you have unlocked Las Venturas. Ironically, Rockstar Games' tongue-in-cheek sign is itself classified as an Easter egg.
Diablo 2Secret Cow Level
now Diablo IV Since the release of Blizzard's 2023 release, there has been a lot of discussion about whether or not Blizzard's 2023 release will include a “Secret Cow Level.” This joke and rumor originally appeared on Diablo In games, that level of whispering becomes very noticeable, Diablo 2 There's now an actual cow level: by combining the Leg of Wiltz with the Tome of the Town Portal in the Horadric Cube to create a red portal, players can travel to another dimension full of Hellbovins. The name may sound intense, but in this silly (and very funny) Easter egg, the enemies are actually cows standing on two legs and holding weapons. Diablo IV We may eventually be treated to a Secret Cow Level, and players will no doubt be trying hard to find it, whether it's there or not.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty John Wick Crossover
Cyberpunk 2077of Phantom Liberty While the DLC is packed with tons of new content and new locations for Dogtown, the John Wick Easter egg is one of the most entertaining new additions to CD Projekt Red's title. Players can spot it straight away, but for the full (albeit very fleeting) experience, it's worth waiting until Johnny Silverhand returns.
Players can find the Easter egg by visiting gun dealer Sofia in the market at EBM Petrochem Stadium in Dog Town. Once inside Sofia's shop, head to the right of the counter, follow along the back wall, and turn right again. There, players will stumble upon an unlocked gun case with a plate that reads “To Mr. Wick.” Upon finding this, Johnny will briefly appear on top of the crate and comment on the situation. Considering that Keanu Reeves plays both Silverhand and John Wick, this is a fun crossover for fans of the franchise.
Silent Hill 2 The Dog's Ending
2001 survival horror game Silent Hill 2 As well as the fog, blood and brutality, it also treads into some pretty heavy themes, and of course the dog ending, which reveals that the whole thing was controlled by a Shiba Inu named Mira, shifts the tone completely and will leave you scratching your head.
To see the Dog Ending Easter Egg, you'll need to complete all three other regular endings and get the Dog Key, located in the doghouse across from Rosewater Park. Once you have the key, after watching the video tape, you can head to the Observation Deck on the third floor of the Lakeview Hotel. Only then will you get to see Milla's big reveal, where the Shiba Inu will be seen pressing buttons and pulling levers.
Red Dead Redemption 2 A Cursed Farming Love Story
This is definitely verging on “cursed” territory. Red Dead Redemption 2 There's a dead sheep with a pink ribbon (and a gold wedding ring) and next to it is a dead man with his trousers down. I won't go into too much detail, but there's something to it. very An investigation is ongoing in New Hanover.
Assassin's Creed 3Türkiye Companion
Assassin's Creed 3 While it leans decidedly more into serious territory than Ezio's adventures, Ubisoft managed to throw in a few cheeky Easter eggs to lighten the mood. While playing as Connor Kenway, players can feed the turkey treats, but if they enter the iconic “Konami Code” (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A) in the correct order, Connor's newest turkey friend will don an assassin's hood.
There are plenty of other video game Easter eggs in Bethesda titles. Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas There are also a ton of references to other media (and skeletons in dangerous and comical situations).
