Wild choice for a remake if true. I feel like the original came and went, and no one really talks about the sequel in the first place.
Hope it's true, 2 has been ignored WAY too long.
Fucking 5 different ways to play Medievil 1 and nothing for 2 lol.
Also for the "But Why?", I imagine having already did the work on 1 allows for a lot of 2 to be done easier.
Would NOT be surprised to see this being a PS4 and PS5 title and and a cheaper release (to go along with the shadow drop).

Ah, another online "leaker" with no proven record. Next you'll tell me that you have an uncle that works at your house
I'm not going to complain about more MediEvil, though it is a bit weird as a May release, I feel a September/October release would fare the title better to fit the Halloween season (Don't do November though, too many other big games come out around that time that the game get's drowned out by the competition)
I'm officially retiring as a leaker, can't deal with this stress.
Medievil is great. If true, (huge "if true" because I don't see Sony putting resources into this, but who knows) I suppose they realized that no matter what they do for marketing, it won't sell much more than the first remake anyway. So you might as well shadow drop it to also have the "Nintendo Direct shadow drop" moment.
This is where I'm at with it too. Like hell yeah if true, but they should just go all in on the ridiculously easy Halloween marketing to get people more excited than shadow drop it in a month like May
Medievil 2 would be great, and it would only be fair to get the sequel since we have Medievil PS1, Medievil PSP, Medievil Remake, and Medievil PS1 version within the Remake on PS4/5.
I hadn't considered this but that IS weird.
Like, MediEvil was never as successful as Ape Escape, was it? I think lots of people aren't even aware that there was ever a 2nd game.
Not complaining: I don't need to play Ape Escape again, just musing about how these mid/low tier revivals are decided.
This is such a strange decision. I actually enjoyed the sequel much more than the original back in the day so I am sure I will pick this up eventually.
On the one hand, this might explain why you can play MediEvil, MediEvil and MediEvil on the PS4/5 but not the sequel, because they've been working on a remake.
But on the other hand, if someone explained that decision as "because, Sony" I'd also totally understand.
Either way, I liked the first, never played the second so I'll be there day one if it's true. Always have time for games and IPs either from or reminiscent of Sony's past.

I thought the first remake did poorly. Didn't think we'd see the sequel.
I still have fond memories of this from a PS1 demo disc.

You beat me to it. I imagine the MediEvil 1 remake wasn't exactly an expensive game to produce, and the sequel could benefit from a lot of the leg work done on the prior entry.
It's not like voice acting is going to rack up the production budget, anyway.
You are right. Ape Escape 4 made by Team Asobi would be a dream come true.
OP
OP
Hope so, I do love this series, I lost hope for a sequel after how 1 did though, and honestly a little disappointed if OtherOcean is working on it again, unless they've learnt some lessons from 1. I think it was just too janky.
The big hope is after this, they look into MediEvil 3 O.O
I'd love a new Sly game too, it feels there are the types of games we don't see from them much anymore, would love to see more of them, would help to fill the gaps between their major releases.

"We're proud to announce that we're making Tony Hawk 1, 2, 3, and 4 available on PSN today. As a means to side-step music licensing issues, we're going to be replacing every song with MediEvil's OST!"
I hope so, I've appreciated the Medievil remake even without ever playing the OG (if not briefly on emulators), I hope they will use the same approach of chunkiness, it fits the game.
Wait until you see them replace all the skaters with Syphon Filter 1/2/3 models!
IIRC the original remake flopped so badly so why even bother doing the remake for the second game? EA deemed Dead Space remake not selling enough so they scrapped the other projects and this is a smaller game yet they still gamble with its outcome?
Every time there is a rumor for a playstation event of some kind there's always "something something will be revealed at this showcase" You know what unless it's people that have been right multiple times and I mean more then twice, if not then might as well treat it as nonsense.
DO IT
God, I miss Sir Dan SO MUCH.
Literally the only PS4 game I own, one day I will buy a PS4 just to play the remake.
(unless it comes to PC)
There is something so fun about Medievil that I just cant place, the looseness of the game is a turn off for many, but I love it. It's like a casual ghost and goblins for me.
I want a new game in the series that plays the same, but I would kill for some sort of Medievil type roguelike... like hades... ohhhhh could be so fun. and the visuals would be beautiful!
Medievil 1's OST slaps, Dan's Waltz is amazing

The original Medievil 2 came out May 9th, 2000 in North America.
It's the perfect time to either announce it or release it or just celebrate the franchise.
The remake actually sold fairly well in Europe, which tracks for the series. The franchise was only ever really successful in Europe.
These are the sales until January 2020:
If they felt this was enough and worth making a remake for the seuqel then i won't say no for it, as long as they are happy with the sales and what to expect in the future.
