Various Intellectual Properties and Franchises will have discussions on adaptations, sequels and spin-offs, often just to try and keep the license. But a curious thing can happen when during development a work starts off as part of a franchise or IP but ends up being reworked into something else or entirely divergent from where it began. It may be that the license expired, the popularity of the work was seen as on the decline, the sales pitch ended up rejected or the original creative team had deviated so much from the source material it was seen as so In Name Only they might as well change the name too. Mostly, they wanted to keep the script and existing production work that was done while having the Serial Numbers Filed Off. If you look at it sideways you might see where its origins came from, but all definitive signs of its heritage are completely erased. If the creators are lucky enough, the new property can end up being so successful that it ends up becoming its own popular series that may never have materialized had it remained tied to its license; indeed, some of the most iconic and long-running franchises of all time, such as Star Wars and Super Mario Bros., originated from failed plans for a licensed work.
A contrast to Dolled-Up Installment, where a work started unrelated and was then boosted afterwards with an established name.
Take into consideration key definition points:
The work has to be slotted within a particular title, franchise or "sub" franchise, before turning down a different path. Whether it counts as Canon Discontinuity or an Alternate Universe to a "prime" canon is not the issue of consideration. If an author writes a novel about Sherlock Holmes in a dystopian future, it's still a Sherlock Holmes novel. The novel would have to be rewritten to remove all Sherlock Holmes character and mythos from the narrative.
The trope is not about anything as simple as titles, it is centered around core story beats with an eye towards what they can change and get around a copyright lawyer. If the work is called "Sherlock Holmes Without a Problem," and is later renamed to simply "Without a Problem" but still stars Sherlock Holmes, it's still a Sherlock Holmes story.
The trope has to fundamentally part ways with the work it started from. While a Mid-Development Genre Shift can result in a notably different final product, it may have just been a natural evolution of the story as it came together. If an author starts out writing a Sherlock Holmes book and winds up become more of a romantic comedy instead of a whodunnit, it's still a Sherlock Holmes story. But writing a Sherlock Holmes story and it turns into a James Bond book, it has become a different beast altogether. Yes, this can overlap with Dolled-Up Installment, and often does.
This can get complicated with Canon Welding and conflicting Word of God statements.
Subtrope of What Could Have Been. Compare Serial Numbers Filed Off, Spiritual Successor, Ascended Fanfic. Sometimes overlaps with Market-Based Title, and may feature Suspiciously Similar Substitute characters. A Sub-Trope of Derivative Differentiation.

Watchmen: Originally written by Alan Moore to make use of Charlton Comics's superheroes after DC Comics acquired the rights to them, but because they wanted to incorporate said heroes into the mainstream DC Universe, the characters were changed into original characters in a reality of their own, e. g. Captain Atom to Doctor Manhattan, The Question to Rorschach, Blue Beetle to Nite-Owl, Phantom Lady to Silk Spectre, Peacemaker to The Comedian, etc.

Perros Del Mal Producciones was drawn up as an idea to make a Perros Del Mal angle in CMLL more believable to audiences by having the Power Stable run their own promotion. Disputes lead to PDM starting up a year late and having nothing to do with CMLL.

Rage of the Dragons, a Neo Geo fighting game by Evoga and Noise Factory, was originally intended to be a sequel to the Neo Geo version of Double Dragon, but the developers were unable to get a hold of the rights. Thus, all the characters were turned into ersatzes of the Double Dragon cast: the Lee brothers became the Lewis brothers, while Abobo became Abubo.

Thunder Force IV for the Sega Genesis was released in America was Lightening Force: Quest for the Darkstar. Not only the spelling of this was odd, as two previous games in the series had been released internationally under the Thunder Force title, and Thunder Force IV came out under its actual title in Europe.

Darkstalkers was originally supposed to be a licensed fighting game starring the Universal Horror monsters. This influence can still be seen in many of the characters, as Demitri Maximoff is an obvious stand-in for Dracula, Jon Talbain for The Wolfman, Rikuo for the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Victor von Gerdenheim for Frankenstein's Monster, and so on.

Devil May Cry is the most well-known. It originally starred a new protagonist named Tony who had superhuman abilities (explained here, in traditional RE fashion, with biotechnology instead of demons), and the dev team's research trips to the UK and Spain to study medieval castles wound up influencing the settings of both games. It was turned into an original game after the team realized that it was straining credibility to have an action-packed hack-and-slash as the next entry in what was then still a pure Survival Horror franchise. Dante, the protagonist of DMC, uses the alias "Tony Redgrave" as a Development Gag in later games, while several of the monsters in the DMC franchise bear a distinct influence from the RE series' visceral baddies.

Storm and Nightcrawler from X-Men were recycled from a pitch Dave Cockrum had for a Legion of Super-Heroes Spin-Off called The Outsiders. Nightcrawler ended up being the same, while Storm was created as a Composite Character of a few different unused characters: Trio (cape and headdress), Quetzal (long flowing hair), and Typhoon (weather powers), as well as a prototype X-Men character, called Black Cat (costume and basic physical appearance). Silkie from The Futurians was also conceived as a member of the X-Men before rights issues got in the way.

Battalion Wars is a borderline example. The Working Title was Advance Wars: Under Fire, but Nintendo decided to change the name due to the fact that it was a very different game from the original Advance Wars and it wouldn't have made much sense to release a game named after the Game Boy Advance on the GameCube (it's still part of the overall Wars series, though). In Japan, the game was released as Totsugeki! Famicom Wars.

Willoughby Kipling of Doom Patrol and Ambrose Bierce in Stanley and His Monster were both meant to be John Constantine, but DC Comics wouldn't allow it, the former due to not wanting Constantine's realism to be undermined by interacting with superheroes and the latter due to not wanting the Vertigo-associated characters to appear in kid-friendly titles.

Daymare 1998 was originally a Fan Remake of Resident Evil 2 before the developers received a cease & desist letter from Capcom, who were working on their own official remake of that game. This led them to retool it into an original Survival Horror title that served as a Genre Throwback to the genre's late '90s heyday.

Oliver & Company got some of the way through production with the intent that the little girl would be none other than Penny from The Rescuers, post-being adopted by rich parents. This was changed due to Disney not being quite ready to make direct sequels of any stripe to their past theatrical features (yet). In the finished film, the girl's name was changed from Penny to Jenny, she's eight years old instead of six, and she has auburn hair in a ponytail instead of blonde hair in pigtails, but she is otherwise a perfect twin of Penny.

Krypton was originally planned to be a prequel to Man of Steel, taking place 200 years before the film, thus it would've served as the first DC Extended Universe TV series but it was revised during production when Geoff Johns took over as chairman of DC Films and thus it became a completely standalone DC Comics adaptation with no official connections to the DCEU.

Parks and Recreation was originally conceived as a Spin-Off of The Office (US) (even being called the "Untitled Office Spin-off" by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur at first), but that idea was quickly scrapped early on in the production process and the series was made into its own independent entity. There was still at least another attempt to connect them where the Dunder-Mifflin copier would break, be fixed and refurbished, and then shipped to the Pawnee Parks and Rec department, though that never materialized either.

Anaheim, California's NHL hockey team, the Ducks, were once known as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, wearing uniforms that matched those from the second film and owned by Disney themselves. In 2005, Disney sold the team, thus changing its name and removing the movie iconography from its brand. That said, their mascot, Wild Wing, still wears the mask from the classic logo.

Duncan, the main protagonist of Firebreather, originated in a pitch for a Marvel series called The Crew, which would have starred a Young Avengers-like group of teen heroes. When that plan fell through, the character was simply Retooled for use at Image Comics. Had he been published at Marvel, the Firebreather would have been the son of Fin Fang Foom.

Onimusha: Warlords also began life as Sengoku Biohazard, a Resident Evil game set in the Sengoku period where the player would use Ninja weapons to battle monsters in a house filled with booby traps. It also helped inspire the Devil May Cry combat system, with pre-release versions of Onimusha allowing the player to knock enemies into the air, then juggle them by continuing to attack; while this was fixed in Warlords, it would be incorporated into DMC to give that series its distinctive style.

Similarly, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was originally "Shada", a Doctor Who script by Adams that was never completed due to a BBC strike (and has since seen other adaptations). The plot also contains elements of "City of Death" (also by Adams), a serial that was filmed.

Wonder Boy in Monster Land had a Famicom version by Jaleco titled Saiyūki World. This version inspired its own sequel (Saiyūki World II), which was localized for the NES under the name of Whomp 'Em and had its Journey to the West motif replaced with a Native American one.

The Bernice Summerfield series began as a spinoff of Virgin Books' Doctor Who New Adventures. When Virgin lost the Doctor Who license in 1997, Benny continued on her own, no longer able to meet or make direct references to the Doctor himself. Eventually, the rights moved to Big Finish, which later also acquired a Doctor Who licence, enabling them to be reunited in the Big Finish Doctor Who audios.

Dragon Power was originally a Dragon Ball game. At the time, Dragon Ball was not well-known in the United States (although the game was also translated to French with the Dragon Ball license intact). Bandai tried to change it into a more generic Journey to the West game, which, while still not being well known in America, unlike Dragon Ball, is public domain. They didn't do a very good job at it, incidentally; Bulma, Oolong, and Yamcha, among other characters, all kept their original designs.

The Faction Paradox novel Erasing Sherlock has a complex history. It was first a prize-winning manuscript, which the author then had difficulty in finding a publisher for due to its uncertain genre. It was finally published by Mad Norwegian after being slightly rewritten to make it a Faction Paradox novel. However, the author later released a self-published version with all Doctor Who and Faction Paradox references removed to make it a stand-alone novel again.

The original Duel Masters manga was originally about Shobu and his friends having wacky antics while playing their favorite card game... Magic: The Gathering. Yeah, the series was originally directly licensed by Wizards of the Coast themselves. However, the deal did not quite go as planned, leading the creators to develop their own original card game to replace Magic, and said new card game became the centerpiece of the Duel Masters anime, games, and so on that followed the manga. Still, it is quite surreal to go back to the original and see things like Shobu rocking a Sliver deck.

The Super Famicom game Xandra no Daibouken is a Prequel to the arcade game The Legend of Valkyrie, starring Xandra (the second player in the arcade game) as the titular main character. When the game was localized, since The Legend of Valkyrie would not be released outside Japan for another five years, the game (and main character) were renamed to Whirlo, and the ending screen text confirmed that the game's story continues in The Legend of Valkyrie was changed to just say "THE END".

Mulholland Dr. began development as a spin-off of Twin Peaks, focusing on the character of Audrey Horne trying to make it in Hollywood. At some point it mutated into a whole new property, with Audrey replaced with a new character played by Naomi Watts. It was also supposed to be the pilot for a TV series, but after none of the networks were interested, it was re-edited and partially reshot into a standalone film.

One early design concept for Final Fantasy VII would have been a detective mystery set in contemporary (mid-late '90s) New York. While this obviously didn't pan out, the basic idea would later be reworked into a video game sequel to Hideaki Sena's novel Parasite Eve.

It is no coincidence that the show has a lot in common with fellow Nickelodeon series Oh Yeah! Cartoons (namely, both shows being created by Fred Seibert and consisting of anthologies for seven-minute animated shorts that are intended to serve as pilots for potential Nicktoons), as Random!

Zera: Myths Awaken was meant to be a Spyro the Dragon 4 styled in the same way as the original Insomniac trilogy. A cease-and-desist order put an end to that idea. It was reworked into its own concept starring a pink, female, semi-pedal Cartoon Creature named "Zera", but it's still clearly Spyro inspired.

Although Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was always meant to adapt/use footage from Super Sentai, taking a better part of a decade to get off the ground lead them to change which series was used. The initial pilot was made from Choudenshi Bioman footage and original scenes in 1986, called both Bio-Man and Galaxy Rangers. Both the successful version of the pilot and the series proper in 1993 used footage from the newer Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. The latter pilot recycled the original Bio-Man footage, hence sharing names for the Power Ranger cast.

An inversion: Natsume's side-scrolling action game Shatterhand for the NES was first released in Japan as a Licensed Game for the Famicom based on the Metal Heroes series Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain. However, the Solbrain version, despite being released first, is actually the modified version, not Shatterhand. Angel, a subsidiary of Bandai, agreed to cover the publishing costs for Natsume under the condition that they could modify the game to promote one of Toei's superheroes.

For many years, the mascot of the University of Oregon Ducks teams was none other than Donald Duck, thanks to a unique trademark agreement originated by Walt Disney himself. By 2010, the University had grown tired of the highly restrictive guidelines placed on the character and modified the agreement so that the costumed mascot appearing at sports games and local events is merely, "the Oregon Duck", no longer considered to be Donald. The cartoon version◊ still looks exactly like him, though, and is still covered by the agreement.

Rebel Moon, a Science Fantasy Space Opera, was once pitched as a Star Wars movie during the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney. This is also a peculiar, full-circle example, as it wasn't conceived to be nor started off as one notebeing an original story he developed for decades, inspired by Seven Samurai, but set in space and it wouldn't have featured any legendary icons or locations from the franchise, had Lucasfilm accepted the pitch, since Zack Snyder wanted it to still be its own unique entity regardless.

Dracula vs. Frankenstein was originally planned as a sequel to Satans Sadists, with Russ Tamblyn and other "bikers" reprising their parts from that film. However, not long after filming began, it was decided to turn it into a horror film instead of a biker picture and much of the footage with Tamblyn and other actors from the first film was cut out. They were unable to cut them completely out of the movie, though, which is why Tamblyn and his biker gang seem to be wandering in and out of the film, with no connection to the storyline and with not much to do.

Resident Evil:
The first game was originally conceived as a remake of Capcom's horror game Sweet Home (1989), itself an adaptation of the film of the same name, but since they didn't have the license to that film anymore, they turned it into an original title instead. This would make the original Resident Evil double as a Spiritual Successor of Sweet Home the movie, as well. Tokuro Fujiwara, the director of Sweet Home the video game, worked as a producer on Resident Evil and envisioned it as a Spiritual Successor.
One of the most successful examples came from Capcom's attempt to create a sequel to Resident Evil 2, which spawned not only Resident Evil 4, but three other potential versions of that game (out of four) which saw release as their own games.
Devil May Cry is the most well-known. It originally starred a new protagonist named Tony who had superhuman abilities (explained here, in traditional RE fashion, with biotechnology instead of demons), and the dev team's research trips to the UK and Spain to study medieval castles wound up influencing the settings of both games. It was turned into an original game after the team realized that it was straining credibility to have an action-packed hack-and-slash as the next entry in what was then still a pure Survival Horror franchise. Dante, the protagonist of DMC, uses the alias "Tony Redgrave" as a Development Gag in later games, while several of the monsters in the DMC franchise bear a distinct influence from the RE series' visceral baddies.
Onimusha: Warlords also began life as Sengoku Biohazard, a Resident Evil game set in the Sengoku period where the player would use Ninja weapons to battle monsters in a house filled with booby traps. It also helped inspire the Devil May Cry combat system, with pre-release versions of Onimusha allowing the player to knock enemies into the air, then juggle them by continuing to attack; while this was fixed in Warlords, it would be incorporated into DMC to give that series its distinctive style.
Finally, Resident Evil: Dead Aim was based on one of the final rejected proposals for RE4, and thus bears quite a bit of resemblance to it due to being an actual Resident Evil game, in particular the duo of hero Bruce McGivern and flip-flopping sidekick/nemesis Fong Ling being similar to Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong.

Very nearly happened to The Silence of the Lambs. Orion Pictures had the film rights to Thomas Harris' novel, but Red Dragon - to which The Silence of the Lambs was a sequel - had already been brought to the screen a few years prior, as Manhunter. This meant that Manhunter's producer, Dino De Laurentiis, still owned the film rights to all characters who had appeared in his film, including Hannibal Lecter himself. Assuming they wouldn't be able to get the character rights, the Orion team planned to simply rename them (Hannibal himself would have become Dr. Gideon Quinn), but since Manhunter had been a commercial disappointment, De Laurentiis wasn't feeling very possessive of the rights, and allowed them to use the original names free of charge.

Echo was pitched as part of Blackgate's canon, but has very early on established itself as its own thing in a more mundane setting. Relics of this origin can be seen both here and in Adastra (2018), where the supernatural Big Bad from each takes heavily inspiration from Blackgate's Eternal. Conversely, Adastra began as a Star Trek-esque show in Echo, but it evolved into a radically different thing, a Space Opera with nothing in common. The other project of the group, Glory Hounds, is also not connected to any of those.

Minority Report initially started life as a sequel to fellow Philip K. Dick adaptation Total Recall, with Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role as Douglas Quaid. However, the project was reformatted into a more straightforward adaptation of Dick's short story after Carolco Pictures went bankrupt.

Mystic Defender was originally developed as an adaptation of Peacock King, before Sega removes the licensed materials for the game's international release, turning it into a wholly-original game. For instance, the main villain Zareth was supposed to be Oda Nobunaga, while Joe the hero was Kujaku from the anime. Alexandra from the game was also originally supposed to be Azusa. The game's back cover even uses stills from the anime as promotional material!

The first game was originally conceived as a remake of Capcom's horror game Sweet Home (1989), itself an adaptation of the film of the same name, but since they didn't have the license to that film anymore, they turned it into an original title instead. This would make the original Resident Evil double as a Spiritual Successor of Sweet Home the movie, as well. Tokuro Fujiwara, the director of Sweet Home the video game, worked as a producer on Resident Evil and envisioned it as a Spiritual Successor.

One of the most successful examples came from Capcom's attempt to create a sequel to Resident Evil 2, which spawned not only Resident Evil 4, but three other potential versions of that game (out of four) which saw release as their own games.
Devil May Cry is the most well-known. It originally starred a new protagonist named Tony who had superhuman abilities (explained here, in traditional RE fashion, with biotechnology instead of demons), and the dev team's research trips to the UK and Spain to study medieval castles wound up influencing the settings of both games. It was turned into an original game after the team realized that it was straining credibility to have an action-packed hack-and-slash as the next entry in what was then still a pure Survival Horror franchise. Dante, the protagonist of DMC, uses the alias "Tony Redgrave" as a Development Gag in later games, while several of the monsters in the DMC franchise bear a distinct influence from the RE series' visceral baddies.
Onimusha: Warlords also began life as Sengoku Biohazard, a Resident Evil game set in the Sengoku period where the player would use Ninja weapons to battle monsters in a house filled with booby traps. It also helped inspire the Devil May Cry combat system, with pre-release versions of Onimusha allowing the player to knock enemies into the air, then juggle them by continuing to attack; while this was fixed in Warlords, it would be incorporated into DMC to give that series its distinctive style.
Finally, Resident Evil: Dead Aim was based on one of the final rejected proposals for RE4, and thus bears quite a bit of resemblance to it due to being an actual Resident Evil game, in particular the duo of hero Bruce McGivern and flip-flopping sidekick/nemesis Fong Ling being similar to Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong.

Inspector Gadget was the result of a collaboration between DiC Entertainment and TMS Entertainment, but it originally started life as a kid-friendly spin-off of Lupin III. It was to be called Lupin VIII, starring the descendants of the Lupin III cast and would feature a lot of futuristic gadgets. The pilot episode was nearly complete, but the estate of Maurice LeBlanc, creator of the original Arsène Lupin series which Lupin III was based on (without permission), decided to threaten legal action against the companies. This put a stop to Lupin VIII, but since both companies had already put money into production, they needed to make something. The result was Inspector Gadget, which ran with the idea of a show centered around gadgets, and switched the main character focus from the thief to the police inspector, with Gadget being something of an expy of Inspector Zenigata.

Die Hard is based on the novel Nothing Lasts Forever, which is a sequel to the novel The Detective. The first novel had already been adapted into a film starring Frank Sinatra more than a decade before Nothing Lasts Forever was published, and the main character of the sequel is an old man around Sinatra's age at the time, but the filmmakers of Die Hard deliberately rewrote the story as a standalone film and made the main character younger. Nevertheless, they were contractually obligated to offer Sinatra the lead role first – Sinatra, who was 70 years old by then, unsurprisingly turned it down. The story was also briefly considered to be used for a Commando sequel.

District 9 was originally going to be a Halo movie before it became apparent that the final production budget would be in excess of $250 million; Universal had paid $5 million for the option alone, and that was only after Microsoft had asked for $10 million and 15% of the gross; they settled for 10%. 20th Century Fox even came on board as a partner, but eventually, the production was canceled because Peter Jackson and executive producer Peter Schlessel refused to cut their percentage points in the gross, reducing the profit margin for the studios even further. Jackson allocated $40 million to Neill Blomkamp both as a way of a goodwill gesture, and to salvage all the work that had already been done. Many of the props used in the film were repurposed from their original intended use.

Aside from sharing a character designer/art director in Akihiko Yoshida and similar battle systems, the first Bravely title even features the Demon Lords from 4 Heroes of Light as Nemeses, accompanied by a remix of that game's normal battle theme, "Battle with Monsters." The side character the Adventurer and her fox from 4 Heroes of Light also cross over into Bravely Default and Bravely Second.

Rare had planned to develop a sequel to GoldenEye (1997), but lost the license as they were outbid by Electronic Arts. Downplayed, as the Goldeneye development team hadn't wished to create another James Bond game anyway, instead wanting to create their own, original spy-based title. Thus Perfect Dark was made as a standalone game with similar mechanics.
The canceled Perfect Dark Core would have undergone the same thing had development continued; by the time it was canceled it had turned into a completely different game, featuring a new male protagonist fighting Humongous Mecha.

According to Kenji Obata, Ikari Warriors was originally developed as a licensed adaptation of Rambo: First Blood Part II (which was known as Rambo: Ikari no Dasshutsu in Japan). When SNK was unable to secure the rights, the project was instead released as a standalone game with the title shortened to Ikari. Elements of this still made it into the finished game, such as the fact that two protagonists, Ralf and Clark, are very clear Rambo Expies. Though the characters would later undergo Divergent Character Evolution in the King of Fighters series, Ralf never quite lost the obvious Sylvester Stallone influence.

Eagle Riders was actually a mash-up of Gatchaman II and Gatchaman F. Because Saban did not own the rights to either of the previous Gatchaman adaptations (Battle of the Planets and G-Force) they had to pitch their dub as an unrelated series.

Life, the Universe and Everything is a Divorced Installment and a Dolled-Up Installment — originally an abandoned Doctor Who story proposal called "Doctor Who and the Krikketmen", it was first considered as the plot for one of the many unsuccessful proposals for a Doctor Who feature film, and then divorced from Who and dolled up as the second season of the Guide TV series. When that got canceled in pre-production, it finally became the third Guide novel.

The Order (2007) was supposed to be a revival of Champions (1975), a Marvel team book that starred Black Widow, The Incredible Hercules, the Angel, Iceman and Ghost Rider. Unfortunately, Marvel had lost the trademark to the name "Champions", so the series had to be named something else.

Snow Day was originally written as a Pete & Pete movie, but Nickelodeon took so long to approve the script that by the time they gave the go-ahead to start filming, the actors who played Pete and Pete themselves (Michael Maronna and Danny Tamberelli) were too old for their roles (and as well a good part of the kids cast), resulting in the change of characters.

Them's Fightin' Herds started out as My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic, a Friendship is Magic fangame. While still early in development, Fighting is Magic got so much attention that Hasbro sent them a Cease and Desist order. Lauren Faust liked the game, however, so she helped Retool it into an original game about several different kinds of quadrupedal animals.

Once Upon a Time in the West was originally supposed to be a fourth film in the Dollars Trilogy, but when Clint Eastwood declined to return as The Man With No Name, Charles Bronson was instead cast as a new character, The Man With The Harmonica. This wasn't too big a deal, since the Dollars Trilogy was more of a Thematic Series than a cohesive story anyway.

Kunio-kun:
Renegade, Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom (aka Street Gangs), Nintendo World Cup, and Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge were all localizations of different games in the Japanese Kunio-kun series that were westernized (or in the case of Nintendo World Cup, globalized) in order to make them more marketable overseas. The Neo Geo version of Super Dodge Ball, along with the Nintendo DS games localized by Aksys Games, are the only games in the series where Kunio and Riki retained their Japanese identities in the overseas versions.
The original Double Dragon was planned as a sequel to the original Nekketsu K�ha Kunio-kun (aka Renegade). The change in title, setting, and characters was precisely done to appeal to the western market from the get-go without the need of making a separate overseas version.
The Super Famicom game Super Mad Champ was originally planned as a Kunio bike-racing game. Developer Almanic was the same team that worked on River City Girls Zero for Technos.

Bombshell was originally conceived as Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction, but a legal dispute arose over the use of the Duke Nukem intellectual property (specifically, Gearbox Software said that their deal with Apogee Software - the one which resulted in Duke Nukem Forever finally coming out - precluded Apogee from publishing any more Duke Nukem games). As such, Duke was replaced by Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison as the game's protagonist.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World was originally intended to be a Dragon Ball game, but it was made into an original IP when Sega couldn't secure the license. The major element of this that remains in the game is the use of Rock Paper Scissors (or Janken) to fight bosses: this was Goku's signature move at the time, before he adopted the much more famous Kamehameha.

The Forgotten City started its life a quest mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim released in 2015. The mod was met with acclaim by the modding community and even managed to garner some praise from the mainstream gaming press. Encouraged by the positive response, the mod's project leader Nick Pearce decided to work on expanding the mod into a full game, divorcing it from The Elder Scrolls universe and instead transplanting it into its own original setting.

Godzilla:
The original American dub of Godzilla Raids Again tries to modify itself into a standalone movie retitled Gigantis, the Fire Monster with heavily modified footage, soundtrack, and dialogue. Originally, it was going to be a full remake with the same effects known as The Volcano Monsters but the studio responsible went bankrupt before filming started.
The American dub for War of the Gargantuas similarly omits mention of the fact it's a sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World by removing all mention of Frankenstein from the original dialogue. Which, admittedly, wasn't that hard since the connection was rather tenuous to begin with.
Ebirah, Horror of the Deep was originally written as a King Kong film, but it was scrapped after Rankin/Bass Productions thought it was too different from The King Kong Show, which it was supposed to adapt. So a new script was written and made into King Kong Escapes, while Toho retooled the initial script by replacing Kong with Godzilla, hence his rather Kong-like fascination with the film's human heroine. Some posters for the movie clearly never got the memo and continue to advertise it as a King Kong movie.
The Japanese film Gunhed originally began life as a proposed sequel to The Return of Godzilla, submitted as part of a sequel writing contest, ultimately losing out to the film which became Godzilla vs. Biollante. When Gunhed became a standalone film, it lost many of its original elements, aside from the removal of Godzilla himself.

As revealed in the season two finale, Superman & Lois is set in a universe independent to that of the Arrowverse, despite sharing many actors playing the same characters and clearly still being part of the Arrowverse's established multiverse. The showrunners claimed that they had planned for the series to be separate from the Arrowverse since early on in the development of the first season (though not from the very beginning), which explains the various story and character inconsistencies between the two universes' versions of Superman and Lois.

Human Killing Machine was born out of a failed pitch by Tiertex for an official sequel to their home computer port of Street Fighter. Even though Capcom declined, that didn't stop Tiertex from touting HKM as a Spiritual Successor to Street Fighter in interviews and some promotional material. Kwon, the protagonist of the new game, even bore a superficial resemblance to Ryu.

Pro Wrestling ZERO1 is named for the fact it was started in 2001. The original concept of the promotion was called "Pro Wrestling Zero", as it was conceived at least a year earlier, and was intended to be an extension of New Japan Pro-Wrestling dedicated to a purer strong-style product and commanded by Shinya Hashimoto. However, with bookers Antonio Inoki and Riki Choshu shutting down the idea, and especially after Inoki mistreated Hashimoto's career to build Naoya Ogawa's, Shinya left the company and started the company as an independent promotion, capitalizing on it to rebuild his career.

Unexpectedly, Jimmy Carter decided to boycott the Summer Games that year, resulting in the crossover being shelved. It was eventually revived two years later, with the plot heavily ReTooled to omit all references to the Olympics.

Robotech is a strange case. It's well known that this dub is a mash-up of Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, but the rewrites mean that Robotech's version of events are unconnected to the events of its originators (though you could still watch a sequel like Macross 7 and understand what's going on), and in fact Robotech wound up having its own canon with events that play out completely differently.

Finally, the SNES installment, Super Aleste, became Space Megaforce in North America, but kept the Aleste name in Europe, marking the first time it was seen outside Japan.note Another Compile shoot-em-up, Guardic, received a spinoff on the NES called Guardic Gaiden, which was brought west as The Guardian Legend.

Random! Cartoons:
It is no coincidence that the show has a lot in common with fellow Nickelodeon series Oh Yeah! Cartoons (namely, both shows being created by Fred Seibert and consisting of anthologies for seven-minute animated shorts that are intended to serve as pilots for potential Nicktoons), as Random! Cartoons was originally produced as a fourth season for Oh Yeah! Cartoons before the execs chose to rebrand the series as its own thing.
The short "Hornswiggle" was initially planned to be a Sidney the Elephant short, but was changed to star a new character who was a rhinoceros rather than an elephant when it was discovered that Nickelodeon didn't have the rights to the Terrytoons characters at the time.

The Night House was originally conceived as a Hellraiser reboot told from the perspective of Julia from the original movie.

Both the little-known RPG Divine Divinity by Larian Studios and the somewhat better-known first installment of the Hack and Slash franchise Sacred by Ascaron were originally supposed to be set in the The Dark Eye universe (having no connection whatsoever otherwise). The Larian game had the title The Lady, the Mage and the Knight, abbreviated as LMK, which, in the German title, would have stood for Legenden der Magierkriege, i.e. "legends of the Mage Wars" (the Mage Wars being a period in the history of Aventuria in the TDE setting). The precursor of Sacred was called Armalion (a powerful artifact in the TDE universe). In both cases, problems with the license prevented the projects from leaving the pre-alpha stage, but the existing code and parts of the art were used as building blocks for Divine Divinity and Sacred, respectively.

Starswirl Academy was originally a visual novel where you could date humanized versions of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic characters. Hasbro caught wind and told the devs to change some elements. They changed the character names and now we have characters like the rainbow-haired Robin Douglas (Rainbow Dash).

Splatoon, like all Nintendo games, was born as a gameplay concept. Amongst the possibilities given to its developers when trying to develop a game around this was to make it a Mario spin-off game. They weren't fond of this suggestion and continued throwing ideas at the wall, eventually making it a new IP with the shapeshifting Inklings as the protagonists.

In the 1970s, Aquaman was canceled at issue #56, ending on a Cliffhanger. Writer Steve Skeates later created a similar hero named Prince Targo for Eerie magazine and used his plot for what would have been Aquaman #57 for one of Targo's adventures. He later did a direct sequel to Aquaman #56 in the pages of Sub-Mariner over at Marvel, with the set-up involving a Broad Strokes recap of #56 and a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo from Aquaman himself.

Done numerous times with the Aleste franchise of shoot-em-ups by Compile:
The Master System ports of the first two Aleste games were localized as Power Strike and Power Strike II, respectively (though the latter port was not released in Japan until 2020's Aleste Collection).
The Genesis/Mega Drive installment, Musha Aleste, was localized as M.U.S.H.A..
While the first Game Gear game, GG Aleste, stayed in Japan, GG Aleste II was turned into Power Strike II despite being a completely different game from the Master System game.
Finally, the SNES installment, Super Aleste, became Space Megaforce in North America, but kept the Aleste name in Europe, marking the first time it was seen outside Japan.note Another Compile shoot-em-up, Guardic, received a spinoff on the NES called Guardic Gaiden, which was brought west as The Guardian Legend.

Lunar Knights for the Nintendo DS is actually the overseas version of the fourth Boktai game (Boktai DS). The first two games sold poorly outside Japan due to their solar sensing gimmick and as a result, the third game didn't get an international release and Konami took out the solar sensor in the fourth game. The localization team attempted everything to distance the fourth game from the franchise by changing the title and renaming the main characters Django and Sabata into Aaron and Lucian.

In 2006, Raw Thrills released The Fast and the Furious: Super Bikes to arcades. The game was successful enough to spawn sequels, but they lost the license. However, they kept the rights to the Super Bikes name, so in 2012, they made a sequel simply titled Super Bikes 2, with Super Bikes 3 later coming out in 2019.

Shang-Chi exists because Jim Starlin and Steve Englehart wanted to do a licensed Kung Fu (1972) comic book, but had to replace Kwai Chang with an original character after learning that the show was made by Warner Brothers, the parent company of DC, Marvel’s biggest rival. The character of Shang-Chi himself has since been divorced from his origin as the son of Fu Manchu, after Marvel lost the license to adapt the novels. His evil genius father has been retconned to be an original character named Zheng Zu.

Star Gladiator was originally going to be a licensed Star Wars fighting game developed by Capcom and LucasArts. LucasArts instead opted to make their own fighting game, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi, which was released to decidedly mixed reception. Elements of the original source material can still be seen in Star Gladiator, as Hayato's Plasma Sword is essentially a lightsaber, Gamof bears a very strong resemblance to Chewbacca, June has a seemingly-dead father who turns out to be working for the villain, and Bilstein is a rather blatant Darth Vader Expy.

Kraven's Last Hunt: Based on a storyline involving Wonder Man and the Grim Reaper that J. M. DeMatteis submitted to Marvel and was rejected. He then reworked it into a Batman vs. The Joker project that got nixed because The Killing Joke was already in production. Next DeMatteis developed the "return from the grave" story into one about Batman and Hugo Strange, but that also was rejected by DC. Finally, he reworked and expanded the story for Marvel into the epic we know today featuring Spider-Man, his wife Mary Jane, Kraven the Hunter, and Vermin, which was published in 1987.

The Hot Rock originally began life as a draft for a novel in author Donald E. Westlake's Parker series. Westlake can up with the idea of a story in which Parker had to repeatedly steal the same object. However, the story didn't work with Parker's personality (the pragmatic Parker would have just walked away from the caper), so he abandoned it. However, the idea would not let go of him, and he returned to the manuscript and created a new protagonist for whom the plot did work: the Born Unlucky John Dortmunder. Thus was born the Dortmunder series.

Bumblebee was originally conceived as a prequel to the Michael Bay-directed Transformers film pentalogy. However, the disappointing box office returns for The Last Knight led it to be redeveloped into a standalone film (though the producers did make conflicting statements, even up until the film's release, whether they shared the same canon or not). Once Bumblebee became a smashing success, Hasbro decided that it would serve as the start of a new Transformers continuity, thus completely severing its connections with the Bay films.

Dota Auto Chess was an extremely popular mod for Dota 2, and proved popular enough to the point that Dota's competitors created their own versions of Auto Chess. Discussions between Valve and the mod creator ultimately led to the decision that each of them work on their own separate auto chess games. What was left from Dota Auto Chess turned into simply Auto Chess, while Valve created their own version of the game, Dota Underlords.

Nintendo would pass over the pitch, instead giving the franchise to Sega upon the latter's request, to act as their first collaborative project following the latter's exit from the console market.

K9 was the only Whoniverse spinoff show not to ever directly reference or be referenced by Doctor Who and the other TV series in the franchise, as it was licensed by Bob Baker, the co-creator of the character K9 who owned the rights to him, with no involvement or permission from the BBC, who hold the rights to the Doctor.

One of the original concepts for Fighting Force was to make it a 3D sequel to the Streets of Rage series (and indeed, the leaked Saturn prototype has much more overt similarities to SOR, such as Hawk looking like Axel), but Sega pulled the deal after disagreements with the developers over what platforms the game would be released on, and it became its own thing.

Trapt suffers this twice over. Not only is it a game that would have been previously localized as a Deception game, but by Japanese reckoning, it's the first genuine Numbered Sequel, being Kagero 2. It was instead marketed and released as a standalone title, and since it was a Non-Linear Sequel in the first place, this removes all franchise ties.

Sega made two video games based on Kujaku-Oh (Peacock King, also known as Spirit Warrior): one for the Master System, based on the anime series, and a sequel in number only for the Mega Drive, based on the second OVA. The Master System original came out in America as Spellcaster and the Genesis sequel came out as Mystic Defender, in both cases having all the Peacock King elements replaced with wholly new storylines and characters (the Big Bad of the Genesis game was originally Demon King Nobunaga, for instance).

Doom Patrol is a weird one. The fact that it stars most of the same actors reprising their roles from Titansnote The sole exception is the Chief, who is now played by Timothy Dalton. and airs on the same streaming platforms should have been enough indication that it was originally planned to be a spinoff of Titans. Ultimately, it took place in a separate continuity and the creators have alluded to it being set in an alternate universe (which was kinda confirmed in Crisis on Infinite Earths, where clips from Titans and Doom Patrol were shown with two different universe numbers in a montage of various Earths).

A persistent rumor has it that Lady Stalker was originally going to be a Dragon Quest Gaiden Game based around Alena from Dragon Quest IV, but was quickly made into an unrelated game when the license was lost partway through development. The rumor has strong supporting evidence, including the party being near carbon-copies of the party from Alena's chapter in DQIV; a series of tomato enemies that are suspiciously similar to the Dragon Quest slimes in appearance and near-identical in mechanics, right down to having a "rotten tomato" that can inflict poison equivalent to the Babble/Bubble Slime; and some items being identical between the two games, down to their price.

Tomorrow Stories was intended to have a Cobweb "story" which consisted of Cobweb narrating a comic biography of the real-world rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons. DC refused to print it because it described the alleged involvement of L. Ron Hubbard in ritual magic and questionable financial dealings in the years before he founded the Church of Scientology, which they feared would get them in trouble with the Scientologists. The item was eventually printed in a Top Shelf anthology called Top Shelf Asks The Big Questions, with the Cobweb transparently renamed as La Toile, a French translation that had already been used in the main series as the alias of an earlier Cobweb who lived in France. However, the incident heavily contributed to Alan Moore's second break with DC. In addition, Moore's wife and Cobweb co-creator Melinda Gebbie stopped drawing the comic.

The first System Shock game was originally conceived and pitched by Warren Spector as a Wing Commander spin-off with the Working Title "Alien Commander", and would be set on the wreckage of TCS Tiger's Claw. However, with Looking Glass Studios previous projects having been Ultima Underworld and Ultima Underworld II, both Spector and project leader Doug Church decided that they wanted a greater degree of creative freedom and not have their hands tied by working with an existing franchise, and so they reconfigured the pitch into its own original setting very early into pre-production.
Dead Space was originally conceived as a System Shock sequel, until Resident Evil 4 came out and the devs decided to develop a new IP along those lines instead.

Colombiana starring Zoe Saldaña was originally written by Luc Besson as Mathilda, a sequel to The Professional which would have followed an older Mathilda Lando getting revenge on the men who had wronged her after the death of her mentor Leon Montana. It was also intended to be set in the same universe as Nikita, but because Besson left Gaumont (the production company behind the film) after the failure of 1999's The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, coupled with him unable to get Natalie Portman interested, it became a standalone film.

Titus the Fox was originally created as Lagaf': Les Aventures de Moktar - Vol.1: La Zoubida, and based on a comedy dance song, called "La Zoubida". "Lagaf'" is the comedian who sang it, and "Moktar" is the song's protagonist, who pines for the titular La Zoubida. The game starred Moktar going from Paris to Marrakech and back to save his beloved... but, since only French people knew of Lagaf', the developers turned Moktar into a character based on their own mascot Titus, removed each and every reference to him and his song from the graphics (including an entire stage) and replaced the rendition of "La Zoubida" in the soundtrack with original music.

The Wonder Boy games were developed by Westone and published by Sega. While Sega owned the Wonder Boy trademark, Westone retained all other copyrights, and so Hudson Soft decided to modify each game when they got the license to work on ports for non-Sega platforms. The only exception was Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair, which remained unchanged when it was ported to the TurboGrafx-CD, though "Wonder Boy III" was dropped from the title in the US.
Wonder Boy in Monster Land had a Famicom version by Jaleco titled Saiyūki World. This version inspired its own sequel (Saiyūki World II), which was localized for the NES under the name of Whomp 'Em and had its Journey to the West motif replaced with a Native American one.
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap was remade as Dragon's Curse for the TurboGrafx-16. The PC Engine version of said game was curiously enough released under the name of Adventure Island, the same name that Hudson's own Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima series is known as outside Japan.
Wonder Boy in Monster World became The Dynastic Hero on the TurboGrafx-CD and had all the original characters replaced with bug people.
Outside the Wonder Boy series, Hudson Soft also ported the Sega/Westone arcade Beat 'em Up Riot City to the TurboGrafx-CD under the name of Riot Zone (or Crest of Wolf in Japan) with different player characters, while Blood Gear (a mecha-themed action game) was originally planned as a sequel to Aurail.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident started out as Imperium Galactica 3: Genesis. It then got bounced around several developers/publishers under the title of Galaxy Andromeda before finally being released as its current title.

Youngblood (Image Comics) was originally a proposed Teen Titans spin-off, explaining Shaft's "coincidental similarities" to Green Arrow's sidekick Arsenal. In addition to Shaft being an obvious Arsenal stand-in, Diehard was supposed to have been a S.T.A.R. Labs android, and Vogue would have been a new version of the Harlequin. Additionally, the characters Brahma, Photon, Combat, and Cougar were recycled from a rejected Young Avengers pitch Liefeld created with Jim Valentino during the 90's.

Tabula Rasa was known as Ultima X in development, and was intended as a Spiritual Successor to Ultima. The first version was going to be a fantasy MMORPG, then was scrapped to make a second fantasy MMORPG, then it was scrapped entirely and made into a completely different MMOFPS.

Secret Weapons Over Normandy was apparently born out of a canceled Medal of Honor spin-off called Fighter Command.
