Initial concepts for ''MediEvil 2'' created by Chris Sorrell saw Dan being replaced by a new protagonist, [[Sir Henry Fortesque]], a recently deceased descendant of Dan's. This would have worked in the style of the British sitcom ''[[wikipedia:Blackadder|Blackadder]]'' (i.e. Henry would've retained Dan's iconic traits).{{Siteref|ProBoards|13209|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|July 23, 2013|quote=I really only had a few high concept ideas in mind for MediEvil 2. These were: that it could be set in Victorian times, but instead of playing as Sir Dan, you would play as Sir Henry Fortesque, a more recently deceased descendent{{sic}} of Sir Dan's (much like the way they reincarnated the same character in the UK TV show Black Adder).|author=Chris Sorrell}} However, it was eventually decided that Dan should be kept as the main character. The Museum where Dan begins the game as one of the exhibits was an idea that Jason Wilson came up with.{{Siteref|ProBoards|13694|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|November 3, 2013|quote=I came up with the British Museum and the exhibits coming to life as well as the Vampires in London amongst other things.|author=Jason Wilson}}

Dan's design was updated by Wilson, who made him more rounded and gave him the ability to change facial expressions so Dan could show more emotion in the game than he did in the first one.{{Siteref|Wilson-Blogspot}}
