described Chris as a "blunt, tough-guy type", admitting that he was a fan of this archetype. For Resident Evil 5, when asked, "Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker
are stars of previous adventures. How do you go about remodeling a character already known to players and fans?" Production director Yasuhiro Anpo replied, "I tried my best to preserve their image and imagined how they would have changed over the passage of time. Chris trained and got stronger, while Wesker got more wrinkles." The Art of Resident Evil 5 confirmed that Chris' increased muscle mass was to show that he had trained heavily in order to fight Wesker bare-handed. Modeler Yosuke Yamagata added, "All the characters are very important for this series, and popular with fans. So we took care not to change their image from past games. It's a simple method, but we made a new design that retained their signature color — green for Chris, blue for Jill — to carry over the same look from the past. The facial structures are mainly based on the visuals of the GameCube version, and we added various details to these in order to develop a realistic structure." Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi

as the protagonists due to their popularity, and at the same time, it would be "pretty dramatic" if the two characters never met when the series ended.
