Saints Row (2022) is out and received mixed reception. This is partly due to outdated mechanics and technical shortcomings. However, the developers seem to have left no stone unturned regarding Easter Eggs.
An Easter egg is a reference to other media, which can range from movies and books to other video games. Saints Row (2022) has its own share of such goodies.
The 10 Best Easter Eggs in Saints Row (2022)
1) Reference to the shared Red Faction universe
Developer Volition is known for more than just Saints Row. In the past, they have also collaborated on several Red Faction games, the sci-fi shooter series. Although this has not been officially confirmed, both franchises share a major organization: Ultor Corporation.
The massive military organization is responsible for the human colony on Mars in the Red Faction titles. They were also a major faction in past Saints Row games and were even part of the antagonistic group in Saints Row 2.
While Ultor is nowhere to be seen in this reboot, a hidden history audio log sheds some light on it. Visit the aptly named Red Faction Memorial Park to find it.
2) Sniffing sound inspired by The Legend of Zelda’s treasure chests
Saints Row (2022) offers many collectibles to discover, including dumpsters with glowing golden light radiating from them. These generally reward the player with money and XP, but can also give cosmetics and parts.
One of those dumpsters located behind the Thunderpump station in Rojas Desert North is different from the others – when players interact with it, it will play a musical cue reminiscent of Nintendo’s legendary action-adventure series, The Lgend of Zelda.
The player character even has the reward found in it – the Recycler SMG skin – like TLOZ’s protagonist Link.
3) Singing Bush

<p>Located in the Badlands South, players can encounter a curious mass that sits along the dry rocky plains and cactus plants. This towering mass is nothing but a bunch of life-sized Jenga blocks stacked in a vertical position.</p>
<p>Best of all, it’s fully interactive, where players can push individual blocks by shooting them or running through them with a car. Interacting with the small panel in front of the structure can also return it to its original position.</p>

<h3>5) Xeno Series Zohar</h3>
<p>The video game references just don’t stop there. Another Easter egg in the Badlands South is a nod to Zohar, a mysterious portal. It is a large golden door-like object and appears in Bandai Namco’s Xenosaga and Nintendo’s Xenoblade Chronicles series.</p>

<h3>6) 2001 monolith: A Space Odyssey</h3>

This could be the most complex Easter egg/secret in the entire game. Good luck to the people who decide to solve this#SaintsRow https://t.co/DyKJm1xibg
Also located in the Badlands area is the iconic Monolith from the hit sci-fi movie 2001: A space odyssey. A few rocks can be seen in the sky around this silver structure.
Oddly enough, there is also some writing on the monolith, which is essentially a riddle giving clues to another location. It has also appeared in an Easter egg in other games such as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
7) Doctor who is “Turdis”
The iconic British television series doctor who is one of the most popular media franchises out there, and also appears in Saint’s Row. The Tardis, the iconic payphone machine for time travel and space travel, can be found in the game. However, it is known as Turdis in the title and can be seen glowing with green, crackling energy.
8) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

<p>This is arguably the most nerve-wracking entry on this list. After the Chalupacabra Criminal Venture is established, players can talk to the hired manager who is alone in the back. This section is filled with various rides and empty food stalls.</p>
<p>Between them is a grid on the ground that leads into inky darkness – and in the void, two eerie eyes of an unknown creature stare back at the player. Perhaps this is a reference to the vampire monster Chupacabra, the urban legend after which the establishment is named?</p>

<p>Saints row (2022) is out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.</p>
