* InMemoriam: ''Peace Walker'' was dedicated to Project Itoh, author of the ''Guns of the Patriots'' novelization, who died before ''Peace Walker'' was released due to a long struggle with cancer. He was working on a tie-in novelization to ''Peace Walker'' prior to his death, which ended up being written by another author (Kenji Yano) and published four years after the game's release.

** Kojima originally had no intention to direct ''Peace Walker''. He intended to write only a rough outline of the game's plot and leave the rest to his younger staff, much like he did with the previous PSP games in the series, the ''Acid'' series and ''Portable Ops'', but he changed his mind when his younger staff did not understand the story's theme of nuclear deterrence.

** Thanks to a few bits of dialog towards the end of the game, many people suspected that [[spoiler:Strangelove would become Huey's first wife and Otacon's mother]] long before it was confirmed in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''.
** [[spoiler: "So wait, at the "endgame" the question of the discrepancy between Cécile and Paz's stories concerning their capture by the CIA and the origin of the tape Vladimir Zadornov used to assure Big Boss's involvement still hasn't been answered? One of them isn't telling the truth... now which one is the ''least'' likely to be a traitor...?"]]
