The earliest known version of Dan's Crypt appears in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'' from September 1997, where it replaces the original version of the [[Inside The Asylum (Morten version)|Inside The Asylum]] level in the level list. This version of the level is  very rough with placeholder textures and no items.

For a long time, the first level of the game was [[The Graveyard]]. This was changed in June 1998, specifically in build [[MediEvil/SCES-00311/0.32|0.32]], where Dan's Crypt finally became the first level of the game. Dan's Crypt was likely intended to be the first level long before that point, however the developers and quality assurance testers likely used [[MediEvil/Cheats|debug cheats]] for testing purposes and so there was no urgency to update the level order until later in development.

This meant that there was no urgency to update the level order until later in development.
===Version specific differences===
====''MediEvil'' (1999 Japanese original)====
In the Japanese version of the game, the [[Life Bottle]] found on the dirt mound near the Star Rune gate is empty. This may have been done in order to teach players about refilling bottles using [[Health Fountain]]s.
