In 2005, Pandemic Studios and EA released Battlefront 2, a third-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. On August 9, 2023, modder Iamashaymin revealed an undocumented easter egg in the game: players can create a profile named “Wampa” to unlock a new playable unit on the Imperial side in the “Hunt” mode on the Endor map. This allows players to embody the Wampa, a creature from The Empire Strikes Back. The secret was initially discovered by modder S1thK3nny during code exploration. The Wampa feature is exclusive to the PC version of Battlefront 2, cannot be activated in online play, but can be used in split-screen mode, especially in the Classic Collection version set for release in 2024.
