Nicholas Bombray, a member of the game\u2019s Seasonal Creative team, declined to confirm whether the map contains a hidden Easter egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI cannot confirm nor deny any Easter egg in Area 51,\u201d Bombray said during a discussion about hidden content in the series. Area 51 is a U.S. military site in Nevada known for its secrecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2109978691463712915\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2109978691463712915\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bombray described Easter eggs as an informal part of Battlefield\u2019s development process. Developers can create hidden content independently and then present it to the wider team for approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSometimes someone just builds it on his own, not telling anybody, and presents that software. We\u2019re like, oh, should we ship that? Can we ship that?\u201d Bombray said. He added that Easter eggs \u201cmaterialize one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battlefield 6 has brought back series Easter eggs such as rare reload animations and a drivable couch. Earlier games included hidden discoveries such as a megalodon and a yeti, giving players reasons to inspect maps for unusual objects and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bombray\u2019s comments do not confirm whether Area 51 contains an Easter egg. Players will be able to search for hidden content when the map becomes available in Season 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Battlefield 6 seasonal developer Nicholas Bombray
