Kennedy who, though lacking superhuman powers, was in the process of mutating.Īs was typical until the late 2000s, Production Studio 4 developed "Castle" for a single console, with the intent of hiring other companies to port the game later. The character of Tony Redgrave, a superhuman clone of Spencer akin to Alexia Ashford, was replaced with Leon S. Ideas like Spencer or the protagonist being superhumans was not copied over, though the setting of Spencer's castle and the revelation on Progenitor Virus' contribution to human societal evolution were kept. Having written the script for "Stylish", Sugimura provided a similar story for Shibata but more in keeping with previous games. Flagship was contracted to work on the story, led by Noboru Sugimura, in partnership with Yasuhisa Kawamura, who he had worked with on an earlier cancelled Resident Evil title.
The new game, later dubbed "Castle", used the same research material as the previous "Stylish" version, which included numerous photographs of Spanish, English and Welsh castles. While that game was devised as a re-introduction of the franchise for a new console generation, Mikami felt it strayed too far from the formula both in story and mechanics. An earlier Resident Evil 4 project directed by Hideki Kamiya was retitled Devil May Cry after Executive Producer Shinji Mikami pushed for it to be removed from the franchise.

During his exploration of the castle, Leon runs into a young woman who was subject to experimentation in their lab and is protected by a B.O.W. The sole survivor, Leon is infected with a retrovirus and must resist his body's mutation. The operation goes awry when the squad encounter Black Fog, a B.O.W. Spencer, Earl Spencer, where Umbrella HQ is located.
Now a soldier within the elite Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team (part of USSTRATCOM), he participates in a raid on the castle of Dr. Kennedy, who was conscripted into the US Army following his experiences in Resident Evil 2. The game's main plot was to revolve around Leon S.
