The game's designer, Richard La Ruina, and his development team, had filed a DMCA takedown request against a video commenting on the game by YouTuber IAmPattyJack (real name Chris Hodgkinson) on the grounds of copyright infringement, despite it coming under fair-use. La Ruina also criticized Hodgkinson for having suggested in his video that people should be themselves when conversing with women, as opposed to the pick-up artist tactics seen in the game.

Before Hodgkinson knew that YouTube had accepted La Ruina's video strike against him and removed the video, La Ruina apologized to him and sent $50 as compensation for any loss of revenue, however Hodgkinson declined to accept and refunded it. La Ruina later told Polygon "I’m not going to hide that I don’t like this guy, [sic] But if somebody wants to make a negative video, they’re very welcome and we won’t DMCA it. I don’t believe in that." Hodgkinson's video would eventually return.

According to Takashi Iizuka. Sonic Mania came out of the love from the original Sonic series. Christian Whitehead and Simon Thomley(the people behind the remastered Sonic ports on mobile devices) took part in the development of the game.

"Sonic Mania was born out of our fans love of the classic Sonic 2D platform games. This type of collaboration is a first for Sega and we hope everyone will be both surprised and delighted by this title. Sonic Mania has been a passion project for the entire team and we look forward to sharing more details about it later this year. Having the game actually playable at the event itself tonight was testament to the dedication of the team behind it.”

When Jill Valentine removes her beret, it is shown that she has long hair tied in a ponytail underneath her beret to appear short.

This is inconsistent with the in-game portrayal and artwork of Jill in Resident Evil 1 (which her appearance is based off of), where she just has short hair. However, it does falls in line with the live-action portrayal of Jill in Resident Evil 1, as the actress who portrayed her also had short hair tied in a ponytail under the beret.

In order to accurately capture the Victorian era, composer Chris Vrenna disallowed himself from using modern instruments.

The soundtrack was largely composed using instruments of the time, such as zithers and autoharps, toy instruments, and various children's toys, such as jack-in-the-boxes. Ambient noise and strings were then added to the songs to give the songs a more creepy feeling.

In order to make the music more organic sounding, Vrenna built the rhythms of the songs based on various environmental samples such as clock ticking, ratchet noises, and door slams.

Sodom's ending consists of him rebuilding the Mad Gear gang and unfolding a scroll that features the name of the gang.

However, Sodom has failed to write the scroll in katakana (マッドギア), and instead used the kanji '魔'-(ma), '奴'-(do), '義'-(gi, miswritten) and '亜'-(a) to phonetically spell out Mado Gia (Mad Gear). Because each kanji has meaning, this appears to the Japanese reader to be a nonsensical coupling of characters: "devil", "guy", "honor", and "to come after" as in a rank or position. '亜' can also mean "Asia".

The Pokedex will incorrectly display A Pokemon's category; only showing the first word of a Pokemon's category. For example:

All other games in the Pokemon series categorize Squirtle as the "tiny turtle Pokemon". In the Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green Pokedex, Squirtle is listed as the "Tiny Pokemon".

The game was announced as simply "Lords of Shadow" without the Castlevania name. This was done to keep the game's announcement from upstaging the release of Castlevania Judgement, as well as keep Konami's plans to change the series direction a secret.

According to former Capcom member Seth Killian, Rolento's name was supposed to be "Laurence" when he was in the developmental stages of becoming a character, but due to the L and R confusion in the Japanese language as well as the additions of vowels at the end of words in transliteration, "Laurence" became "Rolento". Judging by Japanese transliteration however, Neo_G may have meant the similar name "Laurent" (ロレント), as Lawrence would have instead been rendered as (ロレンス).

Ninja Theory's video editor, Melina Juergens, was used as a stand-in for Senua while they perfected their motion capture techniques. They also based Senua's physical appearance on hers and eventually came to the conclusion that she could play the character in the finalized product. Game director and lead writer, Tameem Antoniades, was confident that she could pull off the role despite her having no acting experience.
