Easter Eggs

Assassin’s Creed’s Next Location

When outside of the Animus, you can find a hidden email conversation at a hacked terminal between two Abstergo employees that details the options for the location of the next Assassin’s Creed game.

Desmond Miles

Hacking one of the computer terminals in the Abstergo will unlock some information about the fate of Desmond Miles after Assassin’s Creed III.

Far Cry 3

In the database entry for ocelots, you can find notes that read “We may have to consider putting tigers and cassowaries in these jungles too.”, to which someone responds “Please, no. I beg of you.” This is a reference to a creature in Far Cry 3, one that drove many players crazy.

The Secret of Monkey Island

In Nassau, you’ll need to complete an assassination mission for a pirate whose name is Mancomb Seepgood. This is the name of the first pirate encounted in the game The Secret of Monkey Island.

Squid and Whale Battle

When you go to the Antocha Wreck at the coordinates 630,600, you can uncover a short cutscene of a giant squid and a whale battling in the sea.

Watch Dogs

When you are in the Abstergo offices, you can overhear some of the employees talking about Watch Dogs. You might hear them talking about the Chicago security company Blume, which is the company featured in the other Ubisoft game. There is also a Blume presentation found after hacking a terminal in your work station.
