The highly anticipated reimagination of 1998's
MediEvil will be released exclusively for PlayStation 4 on October 25, 2019, Sony officially announced on Thursday during its major State of Play livestream.
Sony has also shared a special story trailer for
MediEvil, showcasing Sir Dan's struggle to adjust to a new situation – as he has been brought back from the dead to fulfil his destiny and defeat his nemesis, the evil sorcerer Zarok. While the villain's resources are infinite, vastly outmatching the lone hero, Sir Dan will be provided with an ever-expanding repertoire of weapons and shields to aid him in his quest.
Considering that
MediEvil finally launches in October, it seems that Other Ocean Interactive's title and Media Molecule's
Dreams will be the biggest PS4-exlusive games of the second half of the year – which may be somewhat disappointing after last year's excellent
Yakuza Kiwami 2 and
Marvel's Spider-Man.
With
MediEvil debuting in October, be sure check out the game's box art and story trailer down below:
MediEvil follows the story of Sir Dan, an unlikely champion who met an unfortunate end on the field of battle. 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 coming to PlayStation 4 on October 25, 2019.
