According to an interview with Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, there were two level ideas that came close to making it into the final version of the game but did not make it through development. One was a "Library level" and the second the area outside of The Nexus.

It is possible the Library level idea was later reused in From Software's next souls-game, Dark Souls, to create The Duke's Archives.

There is also unused art that is loaded with the environment textures for the Nexus, possibly of the outside area of the Nexus.
