[Video] There’s a Fun ‘Tremors’ Easter Egg in ‘Far Cry 5’!
If you’ve spent several hours this past week (as I have) prowling around Hope County, Montana in Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5, you’ve possibly come across one of two Easter egg tributes to Stephen King’s IT that can be found in the game. One of them is located inside of O’Hara’s Haunted House, an operational attraction you can actually walk through!
But IT isn’t the only horror film that gets a fun tribute in Far Cry 5.
YouTube’s GoluptiousToast Gaming just brought a Tremors Easter egg to our attention, which he found in a house down the road from the Spread Eagle bar. Inside the house, there’s a phone you can interact with; pressing the square button while near the phone plays a message from a man named Burt, who’s heading South to a “small desert valley.”
“It ain’t perfection, but sometimes bein’ prepared is about cuttin’ your losses,” he says.
The man leaving the message is clearly supposed to be Tremors character Burt Gummer, a survivalist who took up residence in the small desert valley known as… Perfection!

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
