In 2024, interest in Piglet's Big Game was unexpectedly revived by a series of tweets noting that elements of the level and sound design (specifically in Owl and Eeyore's dreams and the music track "Foreboding 1") had mild similarities to survival horror titles such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill despite not being a gory and graphic game. This renewed interest led to the game selling out on eBay and being relisted by scalpers for triple and quadruple-digit prices, despite previously being fairly cheap to get on the platform.

According to game designer Pascal Cammisotto, the developers of Piglet's Big Game were not given access to the script for its source material Piglet's Big Movie, and were simply instructed by Disney to make a Piglet-themed product. The game was directly pitched to Disney as "Resident Evil for kids", an inherently unusual pitch that, according to Cammisotto, was successful due to game designer Mark Albinet being particularly convincing. The developers felt they were making the game more for themselves while not talking down to the very young demographic most Disney iterations of Winnie-the-Pooh are aimed at, and Disney Interactive producer Risa Cohen supported their liberties from the source material as she felt it would be a quality game.
