Trivia
-The level sub name comes from the rifts made in the streets by Fang terrorists, using the Dissonantium chemical compound.

-The level is the the only city level in a Sonic game official or not, with a directly explanation for the loops in a city, not counting Crisis City from Sonic the Hedgehog, that the explanation is implicit that was Iblis influence.

-The level name ideas was to play with the ideas of riot, siege, rift, relentless, the riot city idea didnt have too much in common with the level, but after renamed to siege city, the level was renamed back because it felt better the way, the second name was altered from firstly outran for the fact Fang attacked twice before Shadow reaches the city, to relentless rift, and finally to relentless siege.
