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 version does feature significant changes from the original 2003 outline.
