One of the developers of Apex Legends hid a tribute to his dog in a corner of the battle royale’s map. Jason McCord, lead level designer at studio Respawn Entertainment, tweeted about the easter egg following its discovery last night.

An article by Kotaku noted that Apex Legends players have been finding tiny plush animals hidden throughout the game. Some of those are Loch Ness Monsters – Nessie has been a recurring Titanfall easter egg since the release of the first game – but one in particular featured a small dog on a cushion, as well as two images in photo frames.

After that article was published, McCord tweeted to say that “our dog of ten years passed away suddenly from health issues while I was working hard on King’s Canyon. As any animal lover knows, this was a crushing blow to my morale and made many days hard to come to work. Shadie was our best friend, and so I wanted her to live on in this little corner of the map.”
