Best Video Game Easter Eggs

Diablo 's world of Sanctuary has a lot of promise. There's a depth to it that is ever hinted at, and in particular the atmosphere of Diablo 2 created this sense of a much greater universe outside of what the player saw. It's a series with some strong lore behind it, but it's fair to say that the franchise has never quite reached the heights of great storytell


This can even be seen in other games that try to emulate the Diablo formula. Shadows: Awakening mixes things up a little with the ability to shift between characters and realms with a touch of a button, and although this isn't something that Diablo 4 should directly have, it shows that with a little ingenuity the repetitive clicking can have new life breathed into

When Diablo 3 launched, the RMAH would have meant that players would always be buying and selling items, with Blizzard taking a constant cut of the cash. With that failure out the door, we need to consider how else Diablo 4 could bring in revenue at a pace that would keep its development assured. One option is another RMAH, but that would imply Blizzard has learned nothing from the first attempt. Unlikely, but we should not count it out completely.


Borderlands 2 is well-known for its plethora of pop culture references and easter eggs. Some of the humor in Borderlands 2 still holds up, mainly in part to the incredible villain of Handsome Jack. However, many other moments feel like a portal back into 2012 with somewhat dated references to memes and pop culture that is far older than a decade. However, one immortal attribute that everyone loves is Minecra


As well as this, Blizzard should also keep the heroes of the old games in mind. A new roster of playable characters would be great, but the potential to unlock the likes of the Necromancer in-game would add a new way to keep players engaged, perhaps by completing specific criteria like in Super Smash Bros. such as a certain number of hours playing or beating the game on specific difficulty lev


2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans. The Prequel Trilogy had just concluded with Revenge of the Sith , and the canon of the franchise was a little all over the place with books and video games featuring the different eras of Star Wars . 2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans, and not many liked Jar Jar Binks and his cartoonish ant


That bring us to the end of this rundown of potential changes to make Diablo 4 a force to be reckoned with. Although it may still be some time before the announcement, hopefully Diablo 4 will prove to be relatively close by, and leave players satisfied with what Blizzard has in store for t


This should follow through to character builds as well. A more varied skill tree could allow players to have different options on how to play heroes, and being able to create characters that work well as a team in different ways could potentially add even more longev


Players could find any turkey in Assassin’s Creed 3 and feed it a treat. Whilst doing so, players could enter the classic Konami code of Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A in order to give the turkey an Assassin’s hood, creating a rather adorable and funny Assassin Turkey for the Brotherh


Instead of players grinding for that powerful sickle for their necromancers they were wielding random spears or axes because it boosted their overall power. Introducing powerful items that shakeup the gameplay or interesting synergies would put the grind back on items and less on Paragon lev

Cosmetic items are also an obvious place where Blizzard could be making money. It's honestly rather surprising to see that so much is given away freely in Diablo 3 , including wings, pets, pendants, and more.


Upon entering Quincy Sharp’s office, players could use all the Explosive Gel gadget on a specific spot on the left wall, detonating them to explode a secret panel and reveal an office inside. Venturing in, players will find blueprints of North Gotham, renamed "Arkham City", with a seal of approval stamped on the plans. This easter egg remained undiscovered for years and was only revealed when Rocksteady themselves showed the public this easter


Assassin’s Creed is a franchise that has existed for almost two decades at this point, and Docs.Astro.Columbia.Edu it certainly shows no signs of slowing down. When Assassin’s Creed 3 came around, players had to say a tearful goodbye to Ezio Auditore, the iconic Assassin’s Creed protagonist who had held his own trilogy. Now with the American Civil War and Connor Kenway, players had a new Assassin to learn the story of, and, a secret friend easter


The first Diablo had a gritty storyline of players descending into a cathedral consumed by corruption. Diablo 2 saw the former heroes fall into madness and the demons fighting amongst themselves as they conquer the wo

Reading the above ideas about Diablo 4 may come off as pessimistic, but again, the point is to consider how a design for the next game would look with a revenue model that would satisfy Blizzard’s expectations, and that of its shareholders. Gone are the days of putting out a game with a single DLC pack and calling it a day. Blizzard, and many others, seek to produce games as a service, and Diablo 3 simply did not cut it. Let us cross our fingers and hope for the best, that Diablo 4 both meets our expectations and Blizzard’s - though it’s hard to imagine such an ideal landing spot for the next game.
