First Gameplay Trailer for Medievil Remake is Filled With Bone-Shivering Nostalgia

MediEvil is considered by many to be a PlayStation classic so it's interesting seeing Sony bring back the franchise now, via a remake coming to PS4 next year. After a teaser trailer got all of our interest, a gameplay trailer was released during Halloween and it drove the internet nuts. Like last year's Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and this month's Spyro Reignited Trilogy, this was remade from the ground up and looks fantastic.

This trailer does a lot of things right, showing the game's well-done opening at the beginning and showing comparison shots from the original game while comparing them to the remake. It's safe to say that this is going to be a gorgeous remake that a lot of fans will feel nostalgic for so expect this to sell like hotcakes, similar to the Crash Bandicoot remakes.

For those unfamiliar with the game, MediEvil was a platformer that had combat and puzzles for players to partake in. Obviously, it looks much better in the remake but the original was still a competently fun game with some great atmosphere and a neat setting.

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.

The game is slated for a 2019 release and is exclusive to PS4.
