Remember when Sony announced that a remaster of classic action platformer MediEvil would be coming to the PlayStation 4? It’s easy to forget, but that announcement was almost one year ago at PlayStation Experience 2017. Not much news has been shared since then, to the dismay of fans. That is, except for a few rumours that emerged in March 2018 that said MediEvil 2 would be included in the package.

Fortunately, we may be getting some official news soon. Sid Shuman, PlayStation’s social media director, on the PlayStation Blogcast confirmed there will be news about the MediEvil remaster soon. Shawn Layden, chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, will appear on the podcast in the next week or two to offer more information.

Shuman’s confirmation can be heard 34 minutes in through here. It’s possible that MediEvil receives an update on its next appearance, perhaps at Paris Games Week 2018, where Sony is a regular. The event takes place from October 31st to November 4th, so fingers crossed that something emerges.

Sony confirmed with a short teaser trailer at their PSX event yesterday that MediEvil, the classic title for the original PlayStation, will be coming to the PS4 as a fully remastered game. It was also confirmed that the remaster will have full 4K support. No other details were revealed, such as an exact release date, but the end of the teaser trailer did promise that more details would be released “soon”. You can watch the teaser below.

Not a lot has been heard from the MediEvil franchise in the last decade or so. 2005 was the last time we saw a new release in the series, with PSP’s MediEvil: Resurruction, which wasn’t very well received. After that, MediEvil was re-released on the PSN Store for the PS3 in 2009, but that was mostly it. So it’s really good to see that Sony hasn’t completely forgotten about the franchise.

The remaster is being described by Sony as a “a proper, PS4-grade resurrection”, so there may be more upgrades to the game than a typical remaster would usually have. That’s conjecture on our part, of course, but we’re hoping more will be revealed on the release sooner rather than later. So stay tuned to GamingBolt for more updates.
