If we're to learn anything from recent times, it's that you should watch what you say online. It turns out there's always more than one way to interpret a statement, so choosing your words wisely will keep you out of most trouble. Of course, we can't stay on guard forever, and this recent tweet from someone working on MediEvil for PS4 has led to some interesting assumptions regarding the future of the franchise.
Jason Wilson is in a consultant role on the remake after leading the art and design of the original game on PSone. After officially announcing his involvement with the project, he calls the game "only the beginning of more fun ghoulish things to come!" This has resulted in some fans excitedly taking this to mean we'll be getting even more MediEvil in the future.
While that's certainly one way of looking at it, we honestly doubt that was what Wilson was trying to say. He could simply be referring to the recent trailer, and that we'll be seeing more of the game in action soon. Frankly, we're lucky to be getting a full-blown remake of MediEvil at all, so more Sir Dan after the fact seems unlikely.
In any case, the remake is looking pretty decent, so fans should be sated when it launches next year. Do you think we'll see more MediEvil after the remake of the original game? Rise from your grave in the comments below.

More MediEvil is never a bad thing.
That said, I'd imagine that any more MediEvil games after this remake is highly dependent on sales. The game would have to make some profit on the investment Sony is sinking into it for them to even consider greenlighting new games in the series.
Day One.
And if it sells well enough there will be more, I'm sure.
If this is a remake of the 1st game, then the 2nd could happen too.
cant wait easily top 7 ps1 games ever.well come back sir daniel.la la la.word up son
This seems like the type of game that would make a good digital game series similar to Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. $30 for a top down or asymmetric indie looking fighter or side scroller. I just don't see enough there for a game similar to Ghosts of Tsushima.
I never played MediEvil 2, only the first game, but everyone who has seems to rave about it and rate it more highly than the first game, so I hope at the very least we get a remake of that too.
The trailer has had nearly a million views on YouTube now which is pretty impressive in less then a week. Not even the Spyro reveal has had a million views yet. So there's obviously quite a bit of interest in the game.
How is it similar to Ghost of Tshushima? There nothing alike.
@AdamNovice That is impressive. One million views on the Halloween trailer? Really?
@get2sammyb Well very close, last I looked earlier it was at 980k which is around what the Spyro reveal trailer has now and that's 7 months old. The PSX trailer last year got over a million as well.
@AdamNovice That's truly incredible. I'd be impressed if it was even a tenth of that to be honest.
@get2sammyb I admit that I was surprised by the numbers last year, it just shows that there's a pretty decent market for these remakes.
If the remake has great sales, we can expect at least the remake of the second game as well and maybe a brand new Medievil on PS5.
I'm taking it that it will all depend on sales figures. This is probably why Crash got a remake, and with the sales on that being extremely well, we'll definitely see a new Crash game...same will go with Spyro, and I'm sure this is why sony re-released Patapon, Loco Roco and Parappa and even Dark Cloud...probably something that many companies will try and do and hopefully sony will continue the trend too...Twisted Metal, Wild Arms, ATV Offroad Fury and Syphon Filter...possibly even Jumping Flash or some other goodies!
There's definitely a market for these types of games, most of which sadly rarely get made these days. Ratchet did well and so did Crash with Spyro looking to follow suit, hopefully this can a be a bit of a renaissance for some fun games instead of just serious shooting and endless open worlds
@get2sammyb It's passed a million views now in less then six days. Not bad for a long dormant PS1 franchise.
@AdamNovice That's seriously incredible. Well done Medievil.
if sony were smart they would bundle this game with a medievil themed ps4 pro
I think the biggest thing Sony are lacking in their lineup is a bit more humourous/lighthearted franchise. Uncharted, GOW, TLOF, HZD, and Spidey are great for their audience, but I get the feeling Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet and Knack aren't anywhere in comparison to what Nintendo does. It really wouldn't hurt putting some more good cartoony fun platformers and alike to appeal to a broader cusomer base. I know I wouldn't mind it.
