All The “Overwatch” Easter Eggs You Never Knew You Needed

Blizzard released Overwatch in 2016. And the team-based multiplayer FPS found immediate success. It rates 90-91/100 on Metacritic (depending upon the platform). And it earned praise for its depth and accessibility. But the real appeal of Overwatch has nothing to do with character options. Instead, it has to do with many pop-culture references. Because, if we’re being honest? Well, we’re 100 percent in it for the Overwatch Easter eggs. 

Watchpoint: Gibraltar

Leave it to a group of game developers to give themselves a pretty public pat on the back. And apparently, the “Overwatch” outpost Watchpoint: Gibralter is as good a place to do it as any other. Next time you check out the lockers there, just know those names belong to the guys who created it.

Since a few developer names just aren’t quite enough of a nod to the Blizzard team, there’s another spot in “Overwatch” where you’ll see them (sort of). On the Arrivals board at the Numbani airport, several of the locations listed include those that house Activision Blizzard offices.

We are a little curious why Irvine always seems to be delayed, though.

Mechaqueen

For fans of the Japanese animated series “Gundam,” Pharah’s Mechaqueen skin is a pretty obvious nod. For gamers who maybe aren’t familiar with the series, the Mechaqueen skin is just a badass add-on for a pretty rad character. Either way, you gotta give it up for giant robot suits.

Some Like It Bot

In the spawn area of Hollywood, you’ll find several movie posters that pay homage to classic cinema. The most obvious, of course, is the poster for “Some Like It Bot,” a futuristic twist on the 1959 Marilyn Monroe flick “Some Like It Hot.” Of course, there are no guarantees that “Bot”

also features cross-dressing musicians and mob hits, but we’d like to think it does.
