Naughty Dog isn't shy about referencing itself - in Pittsburgh you'll come across a poster for the official Last of Us website and a mousepad bearing the studio's logo. There's also a pet store called Faithful Dog, a pun that's hard to miss once you notice it.
Co-creator Christian Linke has confirmed that Riot and Fortiche are already a year into developing the next chapter of the Arcane universe, this time exploring the regions of Noxus, Ionia and Demacia rather than revisiting Piltover and Zaun directly. Riot has since clarified it's not necessarily three separate shows, more a single project exploring those regions, with reports suggesting a late 2026 or early 2027 window.
The airport massacre mission caused enough of a stir that Russia yanked the level entirely, releasing the game there with it stripped out completely. Other regions got softer treatment, but Russia just cut it loose.
There's a hidden poster you're not meant to see properly, tucked inside the Ammu-Nation in the northern part of the second island. Grab a rocket launcher, aim it at the right wall and the camera clips through, showing Ronald Reagan giving a thumbs up next to a bullet-riddled Mikhail Gorbachev. A weirdly specific bit of Cold War humour for a game about jet skis and mob bosses.
Once Naughty Dog wrapped up Jak 3, they pulled their most technically skilled staff together and quietly started working on something new under the internal codename 'Big'. Rather than just building another PS3 Jak and Daxter game, they wanted a fresh IP built around realistic human characters, which is how Drake and his adventures were born.
That brief mid-credits shot of Thanos grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet and grumbling "Fine, I'll do it myself" actually created a small continuity headache down the line. Infinity War later established the real Gauntlet wasn't forged until the dwarf Eitri built it on Nidavellir, and Thor: Ragnarok revealed the one sitting in Odin's vault was a fake all along, so co-director Joe Russo eventually explained this particular scene must be set on Nidavellir itself rather than Asgard.
Outside Marc's storage unit in episode two, there's yet another scannable QR code, and this one unlocks Werewolf by Night #33 — the second issue Moon Knight ever appeared in, following straight on from the one hidden in episode one.
NASA has actually partnered with Minecraft Education on more than one occasion, first getting kids to plan and launch rockets in an Artemis-themed set of worlds, then building out interactive modules based on real James Webb Space Telescope imagery so students can piece together star formation and galaxy types for themselves. It's one of the more surprising ways a block-building game has ended up doubling as a genuine STEM classroom tool.
The animatronic Treebeard puppet was 14 feet tall, and getting Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan up into its hands took so long that during breaks they'd just stay perched up there rather than climb down and back up again.
This was the first mainline Uncharted where Greg Edmonson didn't handle the main score. Henry Jackman stepped in instead and wrote a new take on Nate's Theme, blending the old melody with a rougher, more piratey feel for a track simply titled A Thief's End.
