Horizon Forbidden West is Sony’s first big AAA release of what is shaping up to be a remarkable year. PlayStation fans have plenty to look forward to in 2022, with Gran Turismo 7 scheduled for next month and God of War Ragnarok also set to release later in the year.

While it follows the same blueprint established in Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West has been praised for its open-world design and for making significant improvements in all key areas. The NPCs of Horizon Forbidden West are generating a lot of buzz in particular. Many gamers are already trying to carefully examine every location in Horizon Forbidden West in their search for secrets and hidden references. One such easter egg has now been found that features two prominent characters from 2018’s God of War.

The post on the God of War subreddit shows that small sculptures of Brok and Sindri are present in the world of Horizon Forbidden West. Both dwarves played a big role in Kratos’ latest adventure, and they quickly became fan favorites. The comment section is filled with fans expressing their fondness for Brok and Sindri, with many quoting some of their favorite lines from the two brothers.

According to user kerriazes, the Brok and Sindri easter egg can be found a short while after players enter the Forbidden West as a part of Horizon’s main story. Players will find a dead Widemaw, near a Leaplasher site, with a hammer in its mouth. They have to examine the hammer and follow the tracks to finally find Brok and Sindri.

It looks like Sony’s first-party studios have decided to add as many references to other PlayStation games as possible. Ghost of Tsushima’s Iki Island DLC had a similar nod to the opening scene from God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn also came with a Death Stranding easter egg. Astro’s Playroom is filled to the brim with references to other PlayStation games, and all PS5 owners should consider playing it because of that.

Horizon Forbidden West is just a few days old, and it will take players some time to find all the easter eggs. Developer Guerrilla Games has likely hidden references to other PlayStation titles, and some secrets may even hint at future games. Guerrilla Games is also reportedly working on an unannounced project that is over three years into its development cycle. Now that Horizon Forbidden West has launched, Sony may decide to pull the curtain back on this game in one of the next major PlayStation events.

Horizon Forbidden West is available now on PS4 and PS5.
