- Release Date Change: The game was slated for a release in early 2021, but it was bumped up to a general "2021" release window following complications from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the final product wouldn't end up coming out until November.
- Troubled Production: The game's production began in 2018 and commenced smoothly for the most part, but it ended up receiving a few massive road bumps near the end: the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, and the widespread power outages in Texas (where Airship Syndicate is based) at the start of 2021. While much of the game was fully functional by the originally-proposed early 2021 release date, both Airship Syndicate and Riot believed the game wasn't completely "finished", causing them to delay it by several months.
- What Could Have Been: According to an interview with Airship Syndicate and Riot Forge
: During the interim of the game's original proposed release date and its final release, the ending was drastically changed, and about one-third of the game's entire script had to be rewritten to accommodate for it. Pyke's gameplay was also "pseudo-rebooted" just months before release — he had much of the same kit, but he was given a "philosophical nudge" to tweak his gameplay and mission design.
