Now it’s official – MediEvil for PS4 reveal is coming on October 31, the Halloween day, coherently with the tone and mood of the game.

The news comes from SIE Worldwide Studios boss Shawn Layden, who talked about the matter a few hour ago at the PlayStation Blogcast.

​

Interestingly, the name of the developer has been revealed, and it’s Other Ocean Interactive, a team usually known for ports and indie publishing.

“I think there have been some words that might sound alike but mean different things—like remake and remaster,” Layden said.

“This is a remake. We’ve taken the original game design and we’ve taken a lot of the key art, and some of the other attributes of the game design and ethos, if you will, and we’re working with a developer called Other Ocean Interactive, and they are remaking MediEvil and that design—the original MediEvil from PS1.

The original one—the one that I worked on. (So this is based on the PS1 version of the game?) Exactly.”

Then, he added a comment about the dev team, which is being composed not only by new blood but also by the people who worked on the original game back in the days.

“We’re working with some of the talent that were originally associated with the title 20 years ago, so we’re making sure that we’re keeping it real, keeping it to the original intent of the creators.

It’s sweet, I tell you. On Halloween, please get to a streaming video point near you and check it out.”

A rumor claimed the game was going to be revealed on October 31 (check) and that the title is MediEvil Skeletical Edition, even though we were told it was featuring both the chapters in the franchise.
