Since the announcement of MediEvil on PS4 at last year's PSX, it hasn't been entirely clear whether Sir Dan's revamped adventure would be a simple remaster or a full-blown remake. It's almost been a year since we've heard anything concrete about the project, and with only a brief teaser trailer to go on, fans of the series have been left wondering exactly what to expect.
Thankfully, PlayStation top brass Shawn Layden clarified this when he dropped into the latest episode of the PlayStation Blogcast. After confirming a new trailer will land rather aptly on 31st October, he recognised there had been some confusion as to what the PS4 game will be. In short, it's a full scale remake: "There have been some words that might sound alike but mean different things, like remake and remaster. This is a remake," he confirms. Sony is working with a studio called Other Ocean Interactive, providing design details and assets from the original PSone game in order to bring it back to life on modern tech.
It also sounds like the voice of Sir Dan will indeed be making a return, as Layden also states Sony is bringing back some of the folks who originally worked on the PSone classic.
So, there it is: MediEvil on PS4 will be a proper remake. Are you excited for Sir Dan's return? Try not to lose your jaw in the comments below.

so it's a Crash and Spyro like thing then, a remade game based on the original assets
Noice. Now I'm interested.
Day one if it's as good as crash/spyro remake
At least its not a PSP emulation for this one.
Fantastic news ! so excited for this one
Sony need to bring back all here old PS1 classics like this I will they would do a remake of Legend of Dragoon omg I would kill for that remake.
Loved the original, definitely going to get this.
A LOD remake would be welcome too, though they'd need to spruce up the battle mechanics quite a bit.
this brings back so many memories I remember first trying it on a game Magazine Demo Disc I loved it!!
nice.cant wait.this game is legendary.la la la the shadow demons.haha.l😍ve this game.the nostalgia in medievil is too damn high.word up son
Although I owned a ps1 back in the day this is one game I never had and have never played/watched footage of so naturally I'm kind of exited to get to play it as I've only ever heard positive things about it.
Sweet I love remakes compared to backwards compatibility! (as long as the controls are also modernised and not retain the clunky previous gens).
well i was wrong and assumed it would be a psp remaster. that said, who really asked for this? i never hear people reminiscing about the original ps1 game — ever. i feel like demand for this is far below what is required for a remake. heck, wouldn't a syphon filter or ape escape remake be more welcoming from the fans?
@Porco I don't know, the announcement trailer has had over a million views on YouTube which is nothing to be sniffed at, so there must be some demand.
Nice, now I'm getting it
I will definitely buy it, can’t wait for the trailer.
Really excited for this. Medievil is a great game and has amazing ideas, but unfortunately hasn't aged too well, so a remake is a perfect idea.
ive pulled myself away from RD2 (not voluntarily) and found this news, YEESSSS I'm sooo ready for this
