Happy Easter to everyone celebrating! This holiday is widely celebrated around the world and is often connected to an Easter egg hunt. Since we wanted to celebrate with you, we prepared a little egg hunt for you as well!
In a traditional Easter egg hunt, which is a popular celebration during Easter, people typically hide eggs for others to find. When it comes to games, Easter eggs can encompass a wide range of elements, from hidden jokes and references to movies, celebrities, memes, and other clever surprises. These are usually hidden so not everyone discovers them too easily and feels rewarded if they stumble upon one of them. Our game is not any different - our map designers also add Easter eggs to our maps both in ETS2 and ATS with various references.
As a small gift to you this Easter, we wanted to spread a little joy by sharing some of the Easter eggs hidden in our games. When you take a look at the photos, you may be able to find a few hints that will help you to find them and, hopefully, inspire you to uncover even more, as there are plenty waiting to be discovered!
Across both ATS and ETS2 maps, our map designers have incorporated a lot of easter eggs with popular movie or TV show references such as this nod to filmmaker David Lynch, or another one depicting a legendary scene from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
If you are cruising in ATS, make sure to keep an eye out on clotheslines as there are some small easter eggs hidden there - on the screenshots below, you can see one referencing Superman, and the other the famous NBA player Scottie Pippen.
And then we have plenty of other ones referencing art, literature, other video games, or history - like this old road on Route 66. Some are also purely for fun like this recreation of a famous supercar, or a group selfie from our research trip.
We hope you have enjoyed this sneak peek at hidden easter eggs in our games. Make sure to find not only the ones we showed you, but also the rest of them, and share your photos or videos with us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube. We'd also really appreciate it if you could sign up for our newsletter to stay informed, even when you're not able to check out the blog or our socials. We'll see you on the egg hunt!
