The engine for Claw, internally known as the Windows Animation Package 32 (after the original 16 bit Windows Animation Package first written by Brian Goble for his shareware game The Adventures of Microman), was also used by Monolith in Get Medieval and Gruntz. The game was released later that year and became a stand-alone game that had nothing to do with the original game. 'What's taking the little beggars so blasted long' Just then, the chain gave a slight jolt. The game was later renamed to Nikita: The Mystery of the Hidden Treasure and a trailer was released on YouTube. 'Come on, come on,' growled Captain Claw impatiently. The release date was delayed to 2008, however the game was renamed to Jack, the Pirate Cat.

Techland announced that a sequel to Captain Claw was going to be released in November 2007 under the name of Captain Claw 2. Your goal is to defeat enemies, collect treasure and defeat bosses on your way.

The difficulty of the game is quite high, but still the game is really fun to play. However, due to copyright issues with the character Captain Claw, Monolith dropped the project, and passed all codes and assets of the unreleased sequel to a Polish game developer called Techland. Captain Claw is a side-scrolling action platformer released on PCs by Monolith in 1997. Around 1999, work on a sequel to Captain Claw called 'Captain Claw 2 in 3D' was in development by Monolith using the first incarnation of LithTech.
