There Are Creepy ‘IT’ Easter Eggs in ‘Far Cry 5’
This past Tuesday marked the release of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5, and it’s pretty safe to say I’m already addicted. With its massive, open world map and choose-your-own-adventure gameplay, the latest installment in the Far Cry franchise provides endless potential for entertainment. In many ways, it’s Grand Theft Auto in a whole new setting.
Far Cry 5 takes you into Hope County, Montana, which is being overrun by a creepy cult led by a Charles Manson-like figure. Or is it actually IT who is running the show?
GameRant informs us that Far Cry 5 has *at least* two Easter egg tributes to Stephen King’s IT, the first of which is a red balloon at the entrance of a sewer. The site details, “To find the first one, players need to head east from the crop circle in John’s region and they will come across a sewer pipe with a red balloon floating in front of it.”
Another IT Easter egg can be found inside O’Hara’s Haunted House…
“O’Hara’s Haunted House can be found in Faith’s region, just northwest of Dead Man’s River. Complete the prepper stash mission here by climbing into the second floor of the house, turning the power on, entering the barn, and walking through the haunted house attraction full of jump scares. At the end of the haunted house, players will find another red balloon, along with an interesting note sitting on the chair.”
The note is titled “Clown Thoughts,” and we’ll let you discover it for yourself.
Probably a legit party in there… #Farcry5 pic.twitter.com/pU8K918iUh

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
