One of the camera feeds that the player can hack into shows a father watching his son play a video game. The father is mocking how the assassin in the game talks to the people he kills. This is a reference to the Assassin's Creed series (also developed by Ubisoft), in which the protagonists talk to the people they kill before they die.

During one of the gameplay trailers, a man can be seen dancing in his apartment. His information states he is a video game store clerk and has legally changed his name to "Eddie Kenway". This suggests the man is a fan of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, as Edward Kenway is the name of the main protagonist in that game.

While modding the PC version, a user by the name of "The Worse" found almost all of the shaders and graphical improvements present in the 2012 and 2013 trailers for the game.
