10 Best Video Game Secrets, Easter Eggs & References Of 2018

This one hits right in the feels, because we are sorely lacking a Splinter Cell revival.

Digression aside, it seems Ubisoft are keen to remind us of days gone by chucking a cheeky little Easter egg at us.

In the modern day segments that break up the past-hopping frolics of the main game, protagonist Layla has free reign to explore her surroundings. Investigating digs up a Rabbid figurine, because apparently they're still relevant?

But further snooping has her come across a pair of goggles much like the one's Sam Fisher sports on his adventures. Referencing both older titles and the latest, 2012's Blacklist, Layla comments on whether they're Third or Fourth Echelon edition goggles, before dismissing them.

Given that Fisher made an appearance in Ubisoft's other modern espionage series, Ghost Recon, recently, it fuels more rumour and speculation of a return to the stealth series.

Or it could just be an Easter to both remind us and rub our noses in it. Time will tell...
