The Hoxton Revenge heist seems to pay homage to the mission "A New Life" from Hitman: Blood Money, in which the goal is to infiltrate a safehouse to assassinate a snitch under FBI protection and get evidence from the house. Both games also have the snitch hiding in the panic room when alerted.

The description reads;
"When you see the Venomorph, you know it's game over, man. GAME OVER!
Maybe you can build a fire, try sing a couple of songs.
In reality, you better go back and hide, because it will be dark soon, and these babies mostly only come at night... Mostly."
This is a reference to the Xenomorphs from Alien and uses several quotes from the series.

The description reads;
"These shades belonged to an assassin from a distant land. The assassin John was sent to kill was built like a machine. This one would prove to be hard. He used a customized Improved Combined Tactical Vest. He was fully armored and very tough. Behind all that armor however, John knew there was only flesh and bones.
John managed to to kill him in the end. He knew however that when he removed him from his place, another would replace him."
This is an obvious reference to the Terminator series with the assassin being the terminator and John being John Connor.

Several name changes were pitched like "Chanes" and "Chaynes" At the end, ##Overkill Software## decided to keep it in since the reason was being over interpreted.
