Trivia[]
- According to Heavy Rain: Cutting Room Floor, an early version of the game allowed players to visit The American Tribune's office when playing as Madison to conduct research, speak with her boss, and write articles. François Baranger even created concept art of the office.
- The American Tribune also exists in the Beyond: Two Souls universe. When playing as Aiden the player can spot a man reading an issue of The American Tribune that mentions the Origami Killer. (The timeline, however, doesn't match: the chapter in which this happens is set in December 2012, and the events of Heavy Rain take place in October 2011.) A clipping from another issue can be seen in Jodie's hospital room as she recovers from a coma. Additionally, Philip Holmes can be seen reading an issue of The American Tribune Marketplace in the removed chapter "First Steps."
- In real life, The American Tribune is the name of an old satirical news site (which, as of January 2024, is offline).
