Three of the game's V.I.P. Bots are not based on video game characters, and are instead references to non-gaming products made by Sony. The Bots in question are "Forgotten Mascot" (based on Polygon Man, the intended mascot of the original PlayStation), "Pup Pal" and "Pup Pal +" (respectively based on the ERS-110 and ERS-1000 from AIBO, a series of robot dogs designed and manufactured by Sony).

Sucker for Love: Date to Die For
Sucker for Love: Date to Die For (2024)

The game is loosely based on the H. P. Lovecraft novella "The Shadow over Innsmouth". Lead developer Joseph "Akabaka" Hunter struggled to adapt this story as modern scholarly interpretations of Lovecraft's works frequently make accusations of racist and anti-miscegenation allegories in accordance with what is known about his personal views. While the original story (like most of Lovecraft's works) attempts to play into the fear of the unknown, Hunter felt the monsters and creatures used were "just, you know, metaphors for the guy living down the street, which is hardly unknown." Hunter did not want to potentially alienate players, and in order to adapt the story without reproducing these aspects, he took inspiration from "Lovecraft Country", a 2016 horror novel that adapted the Lovecraft mythos by using the controversial themes present in the original works to portray the experiences and threats black people faced in the United States under the Jim Crow laws.

When wearing the NieR: Automata Nano Suits added in the crossover DLC with the game, if you attempt to move the camera to look up Eve's dress, a special animation will play where she notices and violently kicks the camera back away. This animation can only be triggered while wearing the NieR: Automata suits and none of the default suits in the base game, and acts as a reference to secret achievements in NieR RepliCant and NieR: Automata for trying to look under Kainé and 2B's clothes respectively.

Upon reaching Nuisance level with Lustat, one of her dialogue lines will have her claim that the player isn't "the cutest vampire slayer I've ever met", stating "There was this one gal in the 90s that... Well, best not to kiss and tell." This is a reference to the 1997 television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

The designs of the Tulpar crew are all loosely based on characters from popular horror media. Two examples that the developers themselves confirmed in a diary post are Daisuke and Anya, who are respectively based on Ryosuke Kawashima from the 2001 Japanese horror film Pulse and Wendy Torrance (as portrayed by Shelley Duvall) in the 1980 film adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining.

During an interview with Jungle Island (a fan website dedicated to the Super Monkey Ball series), concept artist Keith Webb revealed that the character Future AiAi came about after he came up with an idea for a space monkey that would appear at certain points in the game to give players power-ups (later spells), and was intended to be an homage to the Bomberman series by Hudson Soft. He was originally supposed to wear a white spacesuit, but before Webb could finish coloring in the artwork, the character modeler making the character in 3D chose a red color that ultimately stuck. Webb had later joked about the character being AiAi from the future (the reason why he had the power-ups was because he had gotten them from himself), and the idea stuck as well.

Attachment The character Marcas Brickley is played by Sean McLoughlin, better known as the YouTuber Jacksepticeye. During his playthrough of Chapter 2 where the videotape featuring Marcas appears, McLoughlin revealed various details about getting into the character and recording his part. The video was recorded months before the chapter's release and required him to record in a place that resembled an office, something that took him "ages" to find and required audio treatment due to the room not having sound padding. To match the color scheme of Playtime Co., McLoughlin was required to wear a yellow shirt, with the lanyard the character wears being made from scratch by combining a lanyard, a piece of paper printed with a fake barcode, his character's name, and the Playtime Co. logo, which he found on Poppy Playtime's merchandise website. Additionally, at the end of the video tape, Leith Pierre asks Marcas to bring him a cup of coffee; while unconfirmed, this may be a reference to McLoughlin's coffee company, Top of the Mornin' Coffee. During his playthrough of Chapter 3, McLoughlin revealed that he had been asked to reprise his role, but was unable to due to scheduling conflicts.

Attachment On the second floor of Graniny Gorki, there is a library/desk room on the west side of the wall that features three notable paintings and a magazine. The paintings are Spoiler:"Salvation." and "Promise." which depict God, and "St. Alessa Gillespie: Mother of God, Daughter of God.", and are taken from the Church from Silent Hill 3. There is a fourth painting in the room depicting the head of a woman, but it's not known where it originates from. The magazine can be found on the desk towards the back of the room, and is a copy of the May 2004 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly promoting the game on the cover.

Attachment In the "Blood and Wine" expansion, one of the fist-fighters Geralt must defeat in Beauclair is a man named Mancomb who can be found near the Nilfgaardian Embassy marker in the south. Mancomb is described as an experienced fighter, but instead of fighting in hand-to-hand combat, Geralt must instead fight Mancomb by verbally roasting him. This entire sequence is a reference to the Monkey Island series, with Mancomb's appearance being modeled after series protagonist Guybrush Threepwood, the name "Mancomb" already belonging to the Monkey Island character Mancomb Seepgood, and the fight itself referencing the recurring Insult Sword Fights throughout the series.

The description for the V.I.P. Bot "Watermelon Buster" (based on Raiden from the Metal Gear series and specifically his appearance in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) simply reads "Nanomachines, son!" This is a reference to the final boss fight in that game, where Spoiler:after Raiden asks him why he won't die, Senator Armstrong responds "Nanomachines, son!", with the scene and line becoming an internet meme.

The Japanese text for Papetoon, the home planet of Fox McCloud, is "パペトゥーン". Amusingly, this is also the Japanese text for Puppetoons, a Hungarian-American puppet and cartoon series created by George Pal. As the Star Fox series was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's love of old puppet dramas such as the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson "supermarionation" television series "Thunderbirds", it could be said that this is a joke that Fox originated from this show.

James Marsters, who has voiced Zamasu in the franchise starting with the English dub of "Dragon Ball Super", previously played Piccolo in the infamous 2009 live action film "Dragonball Evolution". Marsters since expressed regret over his performance in the film, and stated he took on the role of Zamasu in an effort to "redeem himself with the Dragon Ball Z community". As a reference to this, at one point when using Fused Zamasu's Divine Hammer rush attack in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, he quotes one of Piccolo's lines in the movie: "Human power has failed before, as it will AGAIN!".

Attachment During the Sinjoh Ruins event, in which Arceus creates a Lv. 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina, a magic circle appears beneath it during the corresponding cutscene, remaining in place for most of the sequence. The layout of this circle is identical to a chart that Game Freak co-founder and prominent series staffer Junichi Masuda created during the development of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in 2005, detailing the lineage of numerous Legendary Pokémon from the first four generations. This chart did not become publicly available until it was included in the Teraleak, a large-scale leak of internal server data from Game Freak in 2024.
