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 half premiered, the second half of this season was delayed due to Syp taking the time to learn her new editing program.
- The delay also gave time for composer Cole Vakassian to compose additional tracks for the season, including remasters of the tunes composed by Revoltge and Syp for Classic Season 2.
- Originally revealed as a reimagining of Classic Season 1, this season also incorporates elements and characters of Classic Season 2 as well as WarGames all within a singular narrative. As a result, the planned sequel to this season will be a new story rather than a direct reimagining of Classic Season 2.
- While Miller was voiced by Syp The Mighty in the first four episodes of this season, Blankslate took over the role in its fifth episode and will additionally dub over the lines for those episodes in the season's planned At The Movies re-release.
