10 Coolest Video Game Secrets Of 2022
6. Time Cop - Titanfall 2
The beauty of secrets, Easter Eggs and trivia is that they’re sort of evergreen. Whilst Remedy Entertainment’s quality FPS Titanfall 2 didn’t release in 2022 - not by a long shot - it managed this year to be a gift that kept on giving.
In March 2022 Remedy’s Narrative Historian David, aka FrozenFroh, tweeted that there was an undiscovered Easter Egg still lurking within Titanfall 2. Fans were thrown into a frenzy and a day later it was found.
During the mission Effect and Cause, there is a corridor filled with fire that the player must use their time-travelling device to get past. However, standing by a certain door and switching between past and present 88 times (a reference, naturally, to Back to the Future) opens the door to unveil with a rather ridiculous scene.
An electrified body lays on the floor with a skeleton doing the splits across two countertops. It's too specific to be something random and is, in fact, a reference to a scene in 1994’s Time Cop featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme who strikes the pose to avoid electrocution when he tasers an enemy.
At this point, Titanfall 2 was more than five years old and yet it became gaming news again in 2022 when this unseen secret was finally found.
