If you’re a fan of the “Assassin’s Creed,” you should be on the look out for Easter Eggs found throughout the “Watch Dogs” title.
According to Gaming Blend, there three references to Ubisoft’s history-inspired franchise. One reference is found when using Aiden Pearce’s profiler. It’s unclear if the person will always be in the same place throughout the game, but there is a former Absertgo employee found in Chicago. Absertgo is the Templar-run tech company in which you work for in “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.”
The second nod to the “Assassin’s Creed” franchise is found when you download video footage of a father and son playing the game. The son is attempting to explain to his father how the game works:
Father: "Why is he doing that?"
Son: "He's an assassin, Dad."
Father: "Well, I mean...why is he talking to that guy he just killed?"
Son: "It's a confession."
Father: "Well that, that's just dumb."
Son: "Dad, please. you're ruining it."
The third reference in the game is a copy of the original “Assassin’s Creed” game in what appears to be a child’s bedroom. You can check out images of the “Assassin’s Creed” Easter Eggs here.
Along with “Assassin’s Creed” nods, there are other pop culture references throughout the game. Once you unlock Pearce’s ability to hack into electronic road signs, you will also be able to see a bunch of Internet meme. Check out IGN’s list of the secret road signs here.
“Watch Dogs” is now available for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC. You can check out gameplay footage in the video below.
