Trivia[]
- It will be the third Family Guy console game to be made after Family Guy Video Game! in 2006 and Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse in 2012.
- The game's art and visual style will be a combination of both Back to the Multiverse and the cancelled Family Guy video game, Road to Death.
- Unlike the first two Family Guy console games, the cutscenes in this game are presented in traditional animation (the same style as the television show itself).
- This game will feature the largest writing crew in a Family Guy video game ever.
- The game will also be uncensored and uncut (thus earning the M rating).
- It will be dedicated to Tuck Tucker, who worked with the Family Guy crew as a storyboard artist on PTV and an assistant director on Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.
- In addition to the game, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions also feature four Family Guy episodes on Blu-ray Disc: Yug Ylimaf, The Most Interesting Man in the World, Passenger Fatty-Seven and Disney's The Reboot.
- An element from the first Family Guy console game (mini-games done in the style of cutaway gags) comes back.
- The original voice cast of the show returned to reprise their roles in the game with the only exception being Mike Henry (voice of Cleveland).
