''The 25th Ward'' began development after the completion of ''[[killer7]]'', and the development of further episodes continued through into the development of ''[[No More Heroes]]''. Due to this, a large amount of inspiration came from the desire to make something that was exactly the opposite of ''No More Heroes''. Most of the original development staff for ''The Silver Case'' returned, along with the addition of a writer and artist for the new "Matchmaker" storyline, expanding the game's structure to three stories rather than two. Due to its episodic structure, early chapters of ''The 25th Ward'' could not be edited based on the events of later chapters, so the game was necessarily less planned in advance.

Between the release of the fourth and fifth chapters, a significant time period passed in which the service distributing chapters changed, delaying the release of the fifth chapters. Originally, each story was supposed to go up to chapter six, but the writers finished the story in chapter five. Further chapters would later be written for Correctness and Placebo in the remake.

Initially, Suda wanted to rerelease ''The 25th Ward'' on the Nintendo DS as part of a compilation package with ''The Silver Case''. Although this port was completed in-house, Suda was dissatisfied with the result and the project was shelved. Later, when ''The Silver Case'' was remastered in HD, Suda took a heavy interest in ''The 25th Ward'', saying that he would attempt to remake it if ''The Silver Case'' HD's sales were satisfactory. He described ''The 25th Ward'' as a "phantom game" due to the fact that almost nobody had the ability to play it anymore, including Suda himself, who wished to play it as well. In July 2017, the remake of ''The 25th Ward'' was formally announced, being co-developed by Grasshopper and Active Gaming Media for release on PC and PS4, using a modified version of the engine of the previous game.
