Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End developer Naughty Dog included some clever easter eggs in-game, using some of their past works including Crash Bandicoot and The Last of Us. While the former’s a great game, the mere inclusion of Crash had fans buzzing: had Sony somehow re-secured the rights to the beloved franchise back from Activision?

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is available on PS4 from today.
