He's Just A Poor Boy – When 'Assassin's Creed Syndicate' And Bohemian Rhapsody Collide

Often the street urchins who populate the streets of Victorian London go by unnoticed, but developers of Assassin's Creed managed to sneak in a little easter egg if the player tries to spook one of the little children. The surprise comes with a nod to Queen and "Bohemian Rhapsody."

The easter egg was spotted and posted on Twitter by @Shiny_Demon, a.k.a. Louise Blain, who noticed something familiar about the cries of one of the street urchins she passed by in Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

As she was exploring the sprawling London streets in the game, she came upon one of the children who got spooked by her as he cowered in fear.

“I'm just a poor boy,” the little boy cries, shaking in the middle of the street at night, “Nobody loves me.”

The line is, of course, from one of Queen's most famous and recognizable rock ballads, "Bohemian Rhapsody." Originally penned and performed by the band's over-the-top frontman, Freddie Mercury, the song was then covered years later by Elton John and Axl Rose.

Another Twitter user, Andy Hartup, also discovered what happens when you do not-so-nice things to the in-game street urchins like pointing a gun directly at them for no reason whatsoever. They just gotta get right outta there!

Mama mia! Somebody save that poor boy from this monstrosity!

With so many details in the storyline and graphics put into Assassin's Creed Syndicate, it's nice to see that developers still had some fun with it and even added this little reference to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
