According to a 2018 Rely on Horror interview with the game's producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, they decided to streamline the game's narrative by merging the A and B scenarios when playing as Leon or Claire in the original game (which was four scenarios total played in a dual perspective) into a single, cohesive story for each character. This was meant to remove the repetition from that approach while ensuring that players can still enjoy the depth and intensity of the narrative without having to play through multiple scenarios to see everything.
