The story for ''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow'' was originally conceptualised by Chris Sorrell back in 2003 as a sequel to ''[[MediEvil 2]]''.<ref name="PREVIEWSWorld"/><ref>{{Cite web|title = MediEvil 3: Fate’s Arrow|site = Unseen64|url=https://www.unseen64.net/2016/04/19/medievil-3-fate-arrow-ps2-cancelled/}}</ref> However, the comic book version does feature significant changes from the original 2003 outline. The story takes place over the course of two days instead of three weeks, Kiya is not revealed to be the evil sorceress [[Kiyante]] and many characters and locations do not appear in the comic, likely to keep the story more focused and concise. Jason left Chris to write the initial script for the story on his own but asked him for an outline upfront so that he could make notes and suggestions. Chris provided Jason with a draft of the story in comic form which they transformed into a rough version in panel form, leaving Jason with the task of finalising the artwork.<ref name="PREVIEWSWorld"/> | The story for ''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow'' was originally conceptualised by Chris Sorrell back in 2003 as a sequel to ''[[MediEvil 2]]''.<ref name="PREVIEWSWorld"/><ref>{{Cite web|title = MediEvil 3: Fate’s Arrow|site = Unseen64|url=https://www.unseen64.net/2016/04/19/medievil-3-fate-arrow-ps2-cancelled/}}</ref> However, the comic book version does feature significant changes from the original 2003 outline.
