10 Video Game Mysteries The Developers Had To Solve For You

3. God Of War (PS4) - Hidden Symbols

People were absolutely bowled over when God of War came out last year and set a new benchmark for action spectacle games (as well as parenting tips).

As you might expect with such mass attention, players poured hour after hour into finding everything the game had to offer, including secret messages on scales, hidden elements in the game and little nods to the ending that can be found in the opening moments. However, there was still a “final easter egg” to be found, according to creative director Corey Barlog, when he spoke at a 2018 Comic Con panel. This sent players into meltdown as they scoured every rock and rune for something approximating a clue.

Eventually it was discovered that 4 symbols in the home of Kratos actually spell “Loki”, and a familiar symbol can be found on a garment Kratos’s partner Faye was working on. Some found the reveal to be a little disappointing but it’s so clever to think that there was such heavy nods to the lore of the game sitting right under our noses from moment one.
