The Order: 1886 - 15 Easter Eggs, References & In Jokes You Must See

10. Tesla Hates Edison

The fact that Nikola Tesla was set for inclusion in the game was an early revelation in the marketing campaign, though quite how significant a role he would play remained unconfirmed even for those players heading into the second half of the playtime. He's very much a living, breathing, rebellious character in-universe, responsible for the electric gun and the thermite weapon that are such big parts of the Order's arsenal. And while he's clearly an alternate universe version of the real Tesla, some elements of his real life experiences made it into the game: namely his rivalry with Thomas Edison. The game has a few barbs at the rival inventor, and it seems very clear that the developers are very much Team Tesla.
