On Halloween we finally got a good look at Sony’s remake of the Playstation Classic, MediEvil, via a new trailer showcasing the game in action.
“MediEvil follows the story of Sir Dan, an unlikely champion who met an unfortunate end on the field of battle,” Shawn Layden, chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, said on the PlayStation Blog. “He receives a chance at redemption when his nemesis, the evil sorcerer Lord Zarok, accidentally resurrects him 100 years after that fateful day. Lord Zarok seeks to conquer the Kingdom of Gallowmere, and only the skeletal Sir Dan stands between Zarok’s army of the undead and the kingdom he swore to protect.”
MediEvil is being developed by Other Ocean Interactive as a Full Remake based on the original’s design and key art.
The remake was announced at last year’s Playstation Experience and was originally developed by the new defunct Sony Cambridge Studio, who developed titles such as 24 the Game, LittleBigPlanet on the PSP and Killzone: Mercenary on Vita.
MediEvil Remake is set to release sometime in 2019.
