In the original [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|development of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'']], the Leech was present in the game files for the the [[Xbox]] release until relatively late in the production process, before being removed at relatively last-minute. The Leech asset was restored as part of the [[Digsite]] initiative conducted by [[343 Industries]], with contributor General_101 going as far as to turn what was originally a simple prop asset into an asset ready for [[Modding|modders]] to turn into a game-ready vehicle for use in ''Halo''.{{Ref/Site|Id=DigsiteDeliveries|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-deliveries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Deliveries|D=07|M=07|Y=2023}} | Although the interior of the Leech boarding craft was first viewed in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the exterior remained unknown until the [[2022]] release of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The model featured in the book is the exact same model and textures first created by [[Bungie]] for the original ''Combat Evolved'' game, before it was ultimately [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|cut from release]].
