Unused Achievements#

Goodnight Scheherezade#

Present in the PC version is a texture for a unused achievement. Named "32 Goodnight Scheherezade", this achievement is missing in the achievement code and from Steam itself. However, this achievement is available in the PlayStation versions as a platinum trophy, with the requirement to obtain it being "Collect all Trophies". The icon for the trophy is different than the Steam and Xbox achievements, and is written as "Good Night, Scheherezade".

AnArtistAtHeart#

An unused MonoBehavior code references an unobtainable achievement, named "AchievementFlag_AnArtistAtHeart". Below is a table containing said MonoBehavior's code, as well as a used achievement's, to demonstrate the differences.

Notably, the unused achievement's code is lacking a value in the "RequiredFlags_" field, meaning there's no way to trigger the achievement. The "AchievementName" is also unconventional when compared to other achievements'.
In the "Notes" section, it says "[in memory of Lance]". This is referring to Lance Reddick, the voice actor of Hellboy in this adaptation. Reddick passed away near the end of development, making this one of his final posthumous roles. This achievement was likely made to honor him, but was ultimately scrapped.
