7 Video Game Fan Theories Confirmed By The Creators

2. The Universe Is Populated By Egg People - Rocket League

Like Disney-Pixar's Cars franchise, the Rocket League universe is also hiding a curious secret regarding the nature of its self-aware, seemingly driver-less automobiles.

Ever since the game launched in 2015, the stands surrounding the pitch have been populated by weird, egg-shaped objects, which many players assumed were simply a way for developer Psyonix to add more atmosphere to the matches, without the need to render more detailed human models.

But a pocket of the fanbase got overly egg-cited, cooking up a theory of their own and claiming that the world of Rocket League was actually controlled by an advanced race of egg-shaped beings. But developer Psyonix never formally acknowledged this idea (besides the occasional Easter egg), so it wasn't known if the whole thing was real, or just a silly fan construct.

That is until the developer posted this image (below) on their website in all its crisp HD glory: a shot of the environment surrounding the Farmstead arena, where a billboard packed full of eggy characters can clearly be seen mounted on top of a barn.

The photo arrived as a part of the promotional material for the game's Autumn 2017 update, a clear indication by Psyonix that the egg theory is true. Why else would they go out of their way to design a billboard that players will never see, then use said billboard as one of a select few images that show off the Farmstead map?

The billboard text reads "Mitchell And The Gang Live At Cellardoor" meaning that the mighty egg overlords are so evolved that they are capable of playing music. Good god.
