The game started development at the Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands as a way to predict how the railroad station in Utrecht, the location of where it was being developed, would look in 10 years as a result of the then-recent reconstruction of the town. THQ was impressed with their work and bought the rights to it, eventually making it a fully-fledged video game that would become de Blob.

Attachment If the imposter gets voted out in the "Polus" map, the imposter will be thrown into lava, while making a thumbs up. This is a reference to the end of the film "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", where the Terminator dies in a vat of molten steel, while giving John & Sarah Connor a thumbs up.

Attachment During the Halloween Party level, an NPC will appear that bears a striking resemblance to Billy "Big Bang" Blitz from the game Clash at Demonhead. Tom, a palette-swap of one of the enemies in the game, is based on Tom Guycot, who is also from Clash at Demonhead, and serves as one of the game's villains. Additionally, in the original "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" graphic novel series, Envy Adam's band "The Clash at Demonhead" is named after the game.

Ubisoft made a conscious effort to avoid tropes associated with romanticized views of pirates such as crossbones, hooks, and walking the plank, in favor of creating a “grounded sense of realism, of brutality.” They looked to the films "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" and "The Mission", as well as the television series "Deadwood" for inspiration, and wanted the city of Havana to display more of the citizens' daily lives than the presence of the pirates because according to the game's lead writer Darby McDevitt: "There are pirates in this world, but it’s a much bigger world than just pirates." As a result of these imposed standards, the possibility of the Hookblade from Assassin's Creed: Revelations returning was shut down by McDevitt immediately after it was suggested by one of the developers for inclusion in the game.

When developer Cavia offered to remove the feature, publisher XSEED Games requested for the feature to stay in the game as it improved the gameplay's pace.

Kasumi was initially envisioned as a male character and was not going to be the protagonist. However, after changing the character's sex to female, series creator Tomonobu Itagaki became attached to her new design and decided to make her the heroine. Itagaki would go on to describe Kasumi as his “daughter”, and that she is “like a Venus” to him, as well as defending her sexualization among the rest of the series cast despite her canonical age of 17 years old being considered underage in countries with higher ages of consent like the United States. The now-defunct game journalism website QuickJump quoted him in 2007 as saying “in Japan, [the sexualization of a 17-year old] is okay. Maybe it’s 20 in America.”

Although Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury had made it into the game as a downloadable character, Masahiro Sakurai had initially planned to add Mai Shiranui alongside Terry. In the Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation of Terry Bogard, he explained further that he worried that CERO (Japan's video game rating board) would raise the rating from A (for all Ages) to a higher one which was why he reconsidered having her in the game, joking that Super Smash Bros. was only for "good boys and girls".

After defeating the final boss, Modern Tails & Classic Tails are briefly seen discussing something at Sonic's birthday party during the game's last cutscene. What they are talking about differs between the English and Japanese localizations of the game.

In the English version, they said:
Classic Tails: He collects how many? Wow, where does somebody put all those gold rings?
Modern Tails: You know what? I don't know. I keep forgetting to ask.

In the Japanese version, they said:
Classic Tails: You added legs to the plane? What have you done to Sonic's Tornado?
Modern Tails: Yeah... I guess really did go overboard with the legs...

During the final stretch of the side mission, "Kanbei and the Overlord", if the player runs to the locked door they can learn the name of the hidden Revenant before the second wave of enemies appears. Its name is Sugitani Zenjubo, a real-life samurai who was captured by daimyo Oda Nobunaga after the Siege of Kanegasaki in 1570 and sentenced to death by beheading. This event is alluded to in the Revenant's dialogue, and in its Blood Grave where it specifically names Nobunaga as the cause of death, the only instance of a Blood Grave with an identified culprit in the game.

According to the game's director Ayu Kyogoku, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival was created solely as a way to get Nintendo to make amiibo for the Animal Crossing series.

"Initially when the Amiibo was announced, there was nothing really said about Animal Crossing Amiibos or any plans for that matter. But as the Animal Crossing team, we were confident that if there was one, it would be really cute... honestly, we just wanted Animal Crossing Amiibo. We wanted the company to make Animal Crossing Amiibo, so that's why we made a game that works with them."

The idea for a "Battle Royale" mode stemmed from battle-royale type games including PUBG: Battlegrounds, a game that had been released halfway through Fortnite's development. The staff at Epic Games loved these games so much that they decided to take the formula and make it a separate mode within the game.

Attachment Before the game series was cancelled by Disney, a fourth installment was quite elaborately planned and worked on extensively. The name would've been "Disney Infinity 4.0: Kingdoms" and it would have primarily been based of Disney's animated film Aladdin. It was to be developed by United Front Games who are associated with working on the Marvel expansion of Disney Infinity 3.0 as well as Sleeping Dogs, ModNation Racers, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It seems the game would have had a feature where characters of unrelated universes (ex. Star Wars, Marvel, Zootopia, etc.) can be played and seen in the Aladdin-based Story mode, which would have been unique to 4.0. (Although it does bare some resemblance to the Toybox Takeover feature in the previous game.) Pre-alpha footage of the game was uploaded to Vimeo in November of 2018 by a throwaway account, revealing the game's existence.

Samwise Didier, the senior art director for Blizzard Entertainment, drew a paladin for a friend's card game, which was left unused and instead ended up being used for World of Warcraft to create Uther. Didier carried over the paladin's mask to another character he drew, which was the inspiration for Ilidan, who he made concept art for back in 2000. The character Ilidan originally carved his eyes out to allow Demonics to sense demons which allowed him to use demonic energy against them back when he was a protagonist at one point during development.

An update released three days before the game's 10th anniversary on April 26th, 2018 added new songs to radio stations, while simultaneously removing songs due to licensing-expiration issues. Among the many song replacements, the Electro-Choc, Fusion, JNR, Massive B, and Tuff Gong radio stations remained untouched, while almost every song featured in the Vladivostok FM station was cut and replaced with new songs with one exception, "Liberty City: The Invasion" by Seryoga, an original song written for the game's soundtrack. These changes also carried over to the Episodes from Liberty City DLC expansions.
