Trivia
- The entire cast of Classic Season 2 reprise their roles, now joined by Blankslate as Miller, while Classic Season 1 cast members Winter and Firesinopa return in new roles.
- This is the first production in which Syp and Revoltge co-wrote every episode together. As such, it is also the first production to credit both Syp and Revoltge as creators, rather than just Syp.
- This is also the first season to feature Cole Vakassian serving as series composer, taking over from Syp and Revoltge.
- This season was predominantly written in late 2023, with subsequent additions added while filming throughout 2024.
- During development, this season was referred to as Guard Duty Anniversary, in reference to the remakes of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, both subtitled Aniversary.
- After the first five episodes were released, the remainder of this season was delayed due to Syp having to reinstall her computer's operating system which led to her losing her original editing software. As a result, she took the time to learn Adobe Premiere Pro for Machine and Replacement before placing the series on an unplanned hiatus due to the complicated nature of subsequent episodes.
- The delay also gave time for composer Cole Vakassian to compose additional tracks for the season, including rearrangements of the tunes composed by Revoltge and Syp for Classic Season 2.
- In the original airing of this season, Syp The Mighty provided the voice of Miller in its first four episodes as well as Forge and Corvus. For the season's At The Movies re-release, Blankslate (who has voiced Miller since Replacement) re-dubbed Miller's initial appearances while Syp would cast Jax Beetle and Natasha as Forge and Corvus respectively.
- Syp's influences for this season include the animated series Archer and Harley Quinn, sitcoms Parks & Recreation and Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Revoltge's influences include animated series such as RWBY, Legend of Vox Machina, and Archer.
- When first announced in Coming Soon, Syp stated this season and its Classic counterpart would be "simultaneously canon". However, this is proven untrue in the actual season as it actively contradicts that season as well as WarGames and Classic Season 2. Instead, Season 1 acts as a reset to the series continuity as a fresh start that combines elements of the entire Classic series as a singular narrative.
- While referred to as Season 1 (numerical 1) when it first aired, it is referred to as Season One (phonetically One) in both its soundtrack and At The Movies re-release.
