Sony Bringing Back a Remastered ‘MediEvil’ in 2018!
It’s not Devil May Cry 5, and it certainly wasn’t what we expected. But man, I love it all the same.
At PlayStation Experience, Sony announced that in 2018, they’re bringing back Sir Daniel Fortesque and company in a 4K remaster of their 1998 game, MediEvil! The brief trailer for the game states that more info will be released “soon”, but sadly, we have to wait.
For those in need a of a refresher, the original MediEvil is a hack-and-slash adventure game starring the undead knight Sir Daniel Fortesque in his quest to stop the evil sorcerer Zarok and his undead army from conquering the kingdom of Gallowmere.
The game had a fun blend of horror and comedy, and was fairly well-received upon release. It garnered enough sales to warrant a sequel two years later with MediEvil II. After that, the series lay dormant for five years until a re-imagining of the first game was released on the PSP as MediEvil: Resurrection. I for one can’t wait for this remaster.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
