As promised last week on the PlayStation Blogcast, Sony big wig Shawn Layden has returned to the show in the latest episode to provide an update on MediEvil for PS4. While he doesn't go into very much detail, he does give a couple of things to chew on that fans will assuredly be happy to hear.
Firstly, Layden clears up exactly what this project is. "There have been some words that might sound alike but mean different things, like remake and remaster. This is a remake," he confirms, stating that they're working with a studio called Other Ocean Interactive and the original PSone game's design and assets to resurrect the fan favourite action title. Layden also says Sony is working with "some of the talent that was originally associated with the title 20 years ago," which sounds to us like Sir Dan's original voice actor is back, as was hinted at earlier in the week.
Secondly, the Worldwide Studios chairman confirmed that we'll be getting a brand new trailer for MediEvil on Halloween -- that's next Wednesday. "It's coming up, right? It's Dan's favourite day of the year -- it's gonna be Halloween next week on the 31st. We thought that would be a good time to drop a trailer on the internet."
So there you have it: we'll be seeing a little more from the MediEvil remake in just a few days. Are you excited to see how it's shaping up? Put a bucket on your head in the comments below.

SWEET, i'm really excited for this one
Sucks it didn't make it for Halloween but at least we're getting it soon it seems .
So glad it’s a full remake. Can’t wait.
Any chance we'll get Tom Baker doing the narration? I know that was on the PSP version but it was so cool!
I've no nostalgia for this game, and looking at some old gameplay footage, it's always hard to understand what people like about it, but I welcome any surprise.
Interesting to note is that Other Ocean Interactive is working on this remake, they're only done porting before it seems. So it seems like this is their first big project.
Anyway, looking forward to the trailer. /ramble
As a relative newcomer to the world of playstation i'm glad i choose to go PS4 over Xbox and Switch, such an embarrassment of riches on the system and i get to discover shiny new versions of older games, what a time to be a gamer. need more free time to play them all!
Im really exited i never played it before. 😁
@Shepherd_Tallon Thats late did they lose the shipment?
This is great, great to hear it.
nice cant wait.easily top 7 ps1 games ever.word up son
@Octane It's one of those games that had to be played when it came out. Nothing revolutionary, but a fun and unique game at the time based on it's humor and gameplay. It hasn't aged well at all.....but the remake is definitely worth looking into!
@RedMageLanakyn Yeah, it's true for most games. Especially those early 3D games. I wonder what the remake will look like. The gameplay reminds me a bit of an early, but jolly Dark Souls concept.
@Octane Perhaps their taking a similar approach with what they did with Bluepoint, from remastering games to seeing if they can remake them.
@AdamNovice I don't think they've ever done a remaster before. Just porting games. Their most recent one was a port of that Rick & Morty game to PSVR.
