Split Fiction: All secret easter eggs and video game references
Split Fiction is a 2025 action-adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts.
As a cooperative multiplayer-only game, you will basically follow Mio Hudson and Zoe Foster after they become imprisoned in the world of their own stories, all because they’re connected to a machine designed to steal creative ideas.
This game has been recently released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. What’s even better is that they are packed with cool secret Easter eggs and references to video games.
Let’s take a look at some of the coolest references in the game.
List of all secret easter eggs and video game references in Split Fiction
A Way Out

The Three Little Pigs
Remember the story of the Three Little Pigs? In Split Fiction, Zoe and Mio turn into pigs with some funny abilities. One can extend like a slinky, and the other can fart to push themselves forward.
You will find this in the Neon Revenge Chapter. There is also a house you can blow over with the farting power, and that leads to the "Huffing and Puffing" achievement.
It Takes Two

This character comes from It Takes Two, where Cutie has a pretty dark moment in the game. It’s a quirky tribute to Hazelight's previous title.
Dark Souls

Assassin’s Creed

She even says, “Gotta have faith when you leap,” which feels like a nod to Altair, one of the main characters from Assassin’s Creed.
Dune
Image via EAIf you’re a Dune fan, you’ll be pleased to spot an homage to the giant Sandworms of Arrakis. In the "Legend of the Sandfish" side story, Zoe and Mio use thumpers to distract massive creatures, much like the Sandworms from Dune.
Josef Fares' Game Awards speech

In the Neon Revenge Chapter, you can find a radio playing his fiery speech, where he called out the Oscars and talked about how games deserve more recognition.
