Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- A hidden easter egg was discovered in the 2005 game Star Wars: Battlefront 2, allowing players to unlock a playable Wampa character on the Endor map in Hunt mode by creating a profile named "Wampa."
- This secret lets players control the large Yeti-like Wampa creature, previously unseen in this mode, where normally only Ewoks and Imperial Stormtrooper snipers appear.
- The easter egg was uncovered by modder S1thK3nny while decompiling the PC version's code, with fan developer Iamashaymin sharing the find publicly in August 2024.
- The Wampa secret is exclusive to the PC version of the game and cannot be accessed on console versions or during online play, but it is available in split-screen mode via the 2024 Classic Collection release.
- This discovery highlights hidden content buried deep in the game's code, beyond the typical areas explored by modders over the years.
