Bethesda's Todd Howard came on board as an executive producer, bringing over ten years of history with the franchise as both director and producer on the games themselves. Having him in the room helped keep the show's tone and world-building honest to what longtime players already know.
The version of Donkey Kong you see swinging around in the movie is his first real design update since 1994. The filmmakers blended his classic, chunkier 1981 arcade look with the more modern proportions he's had since Donkey Kong Country to land somewhere in between.
Broadcasters in places like Indonesia and the Philippines heavily edited MHA for TV, cropping and zooming out swimsuit scenes and blurring Momo's costume to hide her cleavage. Violence got trimmed too, so a decent chunk of viewers in the region ended up watching a noticeably tamer version of the show.
Alongside animated spinoff plans, there have been reports of a separate live-action League of Legends TV project, with location scouting reportedly taking place in Vietnam's Cát Bà Archipelago for a planned nine-episode series. It's a completely different production from the Arcane team's animated follow-up.
Early concept art for 8-Ball labels him as 'Mullan' rather than the name that ended up in the finished game. That name never resurfaced in any later GTA title, so it's just a little fossil from development.
The Western Ghats hub area that Chloe and Nadine drive through wasn't just a bigger version of Uncharted 4's jeep sections, at the time of release, Naughty Dog described it as the largest open space the studio had ever put together for a game.
Nacht der Untoten - German for 'Night of the Undead' - wasn't advertised anywhere before launch. Treyarch just quietly hid it behind the campaign's final mission, so early players stumbled into the very first Zombies map with zero warning about what it even was.
South of the Derelict Manor waypoint in Ashwold Cemetery, there's a cracked stone wall that looks like nothing until you get close and see a prompt to 'Enter Hidden Crypt.' It's not tied to any quest, it's just a fully unmarked mini-dungeon with elite enemies guarding a loot chest for anyone curious enough to poke at the scenery.
Rather than boning up on the source material, Walton Goggins deliberately steered clear of playing the Fallout games before stepping into the role, choosing instead to build the Ghoul's persona from classic Western films, drawing on the kind of weathered gunslinger energy you'd get from John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.
Before he was known as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games, Sam Claflin tried out for not one but two parts on Game of Thrones, reading for both Jon Snow and Viserys Targaryen. He didn't land either role, but he'd later end up starring alongside Emilia Clarke anyway in the film Me Before You.
