This is a direct reference to the killer rabbit featured in the iconic film Monty Python's Quest For The Holy Grail. Subtle are great because they refer without destroying the immersion of the game. End Of A Rainbow
Very rarely will games feature that are missable, but this is one players must check out before they plant the beans in the Blood & Wine expansion. This fairy tale world has a beautiful rainbow cascading across its skies, but this game gives you the chance to reach the end of it. As expected players who make it to the end are greeted with the reward of a pot of gold. Instead of a leprechaun, those who interact with it will be met with the appearance and release of a panther.

The name and his place in the game are a nod to the famous machismo flick known as Fight Club. Kill Bill Blacksmith
Anyone who's seen Kill Bill will likely recognize the name Hattori Hanzo. Even those who have never seen the film, have likely heard the name brought up in group conversation. In the game, players can come across a blacksmith who goes by the name Hattori, an obvious reference to the man who made the sword Uma Thurman's character uses. The name Hattori Honzo belongs to the real legendary Japanese ninja who made a name for himself and created a legacy that's lived on for years. Hansel & Gretel
Hansel & Gretel is a fairy tale as old as time, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it appears in the Blood & Wine expansion. The land explores in the expansion is teeming with references and easter eggs calling out childhood tales and classic bedtime stories. Geralt can come across Syanna, a person trying to rescue Hansel from the control of a wicked witch.

Doctor Who is likely the most popular series that most people reading this haven't seen. It is known for having impressive longevity as a series, and a heart to the show that's unmatched. It's had its fair share of scares in it, but nothing comes close to the Weeping Angels. They're stone monsters that move when you take your eyes off of them. They can be found in the game at almost all of the substantial cemeteries you can come across as you traverse the world as Geralt on Roach's back. Dark Souls Bonfire
Games being compared to Dark Souls has become a meme at this point on the internet. Part of that is due to the popularity of the series, which led to it being referenced in other games since the release of the first game. The typical easter egg other games use to reference the series is a flaming bonfire with a sword pierced in its center. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt does exactly this, and though it isn't exactly original or inventive, it's still a nice nod to a difficult game that sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. Tyrion Lannister
The Witcher is interesting as a franchise because the novels have been beloved in Poland for decades, but the games made them a Western staple. Game of Thrones was a very successful television show, based on novels, that has a lot of similarities with the tone of 's adventures. That's why the easter egg of Tyrion Lannister found dead in a Skycell in The Witcher 3 is so neat. The developers and writers of the game were likely as influenced by the Witcher novels as they were the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Cyberpunk 2077
If you've been on the internet long enough, chances are you've seen a Youtube video revealing the in Pixar animated films. They have a track record of teasing their next film in the one that releases. Only after the fact do fans know what was trying to be referenced and the payoff is always neat. CD Projekt Red followed in their footsteps and decided to have Ciri discuss what would end up being revealed as the setting of their next game, Cyberpunk 2077. Let's see if that new game returns the favor and teases Ciri's big Witcher outing.
