It’s none other than the famous Leap of Faith from Assassin’s Creed. This iconic move involves jumping from a great height, into a pile of hay, and coming out unharmed. It has been a signature feature of every Assassin’s Creed game, and Split Fiction pays homage to it in a clever way.

In the game, both Mio and Zoe find themselves atop a tower. With no other way down, they take the leap, landing safely in a hay bale. To make the reference even clearer, Milo remarks, "Gotta have faith when you leap." This subtle nod has delighted Assassin’s Creed fans.

Now that you know what the easter egg is and where to find it, let’s dive deeper into how you’ll encounter it.


How to encounter the Assassin's Creed easter egg

The first chapter, Rader Publishing, begins with the Freedom Fighters section, written by Mio, a sci-fi author. Here, you’ll navigate through advanced technology and futuristic elements. Once completed, you’ll enter Brave Knights, written by Zoe, a fantasy author. This section takes you into a medieval-inspired world filled with monsters.

As you progress through Brave Knights, you’ll find yourself being chased by multiple monsters. Eventually, you’ll reach a bridge and jump into the water to escape. After swimming through the area, you’ll arrive at a locked room where the only way out is climbing up.

That said, the climb is dangerous, featuring spinning blades that you must avoid. Once you successfully reach the top, the Assassin’s Creed easter egg triggers automatically — Mio and Zoe will slide down and take the Leap of Faith into a hay bale.

This well-placed reference is a fantastic tribute to Assassin’s Creed and a small, but memorable, moment for fans of the franchise.
