If we’re simply speaking Easter eggs, Ubisoft franchises like Murderer’s Creed, Far Cry, Watch Canines, Ghost Recon, and extra all comprise direct references to one another. A few of these references are restricted to hidden objects whereas others are considerably extra overt. Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher even seems in a Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC mission! At this level, evidently Ubisoft has softly embraced the concept their Tom Clancy-related properties do certainly share a universe.
Nonetheless, a number of the most attention-grabbing Ubisoft franchise connections may be present in Watch Canines and Murderer’s Creed. Not solely are Murderer’s Creed and Watch Canines‘ resident evil companies referenced in every others’ video games, however there are assassinations, characters, and monumental moments that appear to exist in each collection’ mythologies. A few of these references have been written off as Easter eggs, however there does appear to be a connection between the 2 collection that runs deeper than easy references.
Kane and Lynch Are Figures Within the Hitman Universe
Whereas not probably the most elaborate shared universe on the market, this definitely appears to be probably the most direct examples of that idea.
In Hitman: Blood Cash, you could find a newspaper that comprises fairly a bit of data on the crimes dedicated by the murderous duo Kane and Lynch. If that sounds just a little an excessive amount of like a cheeky Easter egg to you, then you definately must also know that Hitman: Absolution goes a step additional by not solely that includes Kane and Lynch in cameo roles however permitting Agent 47 to kill each of them. I suppose we’re not getting that third Kane & Lynch recreation in any case.
Drakengard Units Up the Universe of NieR:Automata
On the floor, the medieval world of Drakengard and the far-flung sci-fi realm featured in NieR: Automata are about as far aside as you may get (other than a developer, in fact). Nonetheless, the 2 titles are clearly linked in some actually fascinating methods.
See, Drakengard’s “E” ending means that heroes Caim and Angelus journey into the long run (2003, truly) as a way to defeat the Queen-beast. Whereas that ending was seen as one thing of a gag on the time, the joke grew to become very actual when the catastrophic penalties of that ending resulted within the apocalyptic model of Earth we see in 2010’s Nier. 2017’s NieR:Automata, in the meantime, means that humanity should finally depart that scorched Earth brought on by the occasions of Drakengard’s ending.
