The Duffers Regret Killing Off Chrissy

Chrissy's brutal death in Season 4 landed as a gut punch for fans who'd just started shipping her with Eddie Munson. Turns out the brothers felt it too. They admitted they filmed the sweet forest scene between the two characters after her fate was already locked in, and only realised how much chemistry Joseph Quinn and Grace Van Dien had once it was too late to change anything.

Fixing an Old Continuity Slip

Levantine Assassins are supposed to be missing the ring finger they sacrifice for the Hidden Blade, but the very first Assassin's Creed didn't always bother showing it. Revelations quietly went back and cleaned that detail up, so the animation actually matches the lore this time around.

Grandma's House Made a Comeback in Warzone

Long-time players will remember the riverside house on Overgrown, the one with a climbable roof and a machine gun tucked in the attic, affectionately nicknamed 'grandma's house' by the community for reasons nobody can quite agree on. That same house was quietly rebuilt inside Verdansk when Warzone launched.

It Was Being Built Before Fallout 1 Even Shipped

Work on Fallout 2 actually started before the first game hit shelves. Not long into it, three of the original creative leads, Tim Cain, Jason Anderson, and Leonard Boyarsky, walked away from the project. Cain in particular never felt Fallout needed a sequel at all and wasn't thrilled about decisions like making the Temple of Trials impossible to skip.

Another Capering Crusader

While free-running or climbing, a male bystander occasionally mutters "Another capering crusader," a nod to Batman, who is nicknamed the Caped Crusader and shares Ezio's love of rooftops and stealth.

Todd Howard Has Been Living In This World For Over A Decade

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.

8-Ball Almost Had a Totally Different Name

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.

Faster Feet, Courtesy of the Hook

Ubisoft actually put a number on how much the Hookblade sped things up: roughly 30 percent quicker traversal than in the earlier games. Makes sense when you consider Ezio's supposed to be pushing 50 by this point and needs all the help he can get scaling rooftops.

Riddler Trophies Even Hint at Villains Who Never Appear

Some of the Riddler's environmental clues point toward villains who never actually show up in the game itself, like an early hint dropped toward the Ratcatcher. It's a small thing, but it shows Rocksteady was already thinking about the wider rogues' gallery beyond just who they had the budget to model and animate.

There's a Standalone Atom Eve Special

Not long after the Season 2 trailer dropped, Amazon quietly released a separate Atom Eve special dedicated to fleshing out Samantha Eve Wilkins' backstory before she became a bigger part of the main storyline. It's an easy one to overlook if you're only tracking numbered episodes.
