The classic PlayStation franchise, MediEvil, is about to become fully playable on PS5 and PS4. Sony’s recent efforts to revitalize classic PS1 titles for modern consoles have brought gems like The Legend of Dragoon, Ape Escape, Twisted Metal, and Resident Evil back to life. Now, MediEvil 2 joins the ranks, allowing fans to experience the entire original PS1 trilogy on current-gen hardware.
Launching on January 21st, MediEvil 2 arrives as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium catalog. This 2000 sequel to the 1998 original follows the adventures of the resurrected knight, Sir Daniel Fortesque. The re-release boasts modern enhancements like quick saves, a rewind feature, and custom video filters, making it more accessible than ever.
The arrival of MediEvil 2 marks a significant milestone for the franchise on PS5 and PS4. With the original MediEvil already available via both a port and a full 2019 remake, players can now experience nearly the entire PS1 saga on modern consoles. The only missing piece is MediEvil: Resurrection, the 2005 PSP entry. Perhaps its inclusion is on the horizon.

This re-release provides a fantastic opportunity for both longtime fans and newcomers to experience MediEvil 2. The enhanced features and accessibility through PlayStation Plus Premium make it a must-play for those seeking classic PlayStation action-adventure.
Sony’s official description of MediEvil 2 highlights the game’s core elements:
“The sequel to MediEvil released on the original PlayStation in 2000. In this new and improved version, featuring up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters, you’ll have to challenge the powers of darkness and untold magic as Sir Daniel Fortesque returns from the grave to thwart an evil sorcerer’s plans. Arm yourself with a mighty arsenal of weapons, including swords, daggers, crossbows, hammers, and even the occasional chicken drumstick. Solve fiendish puzzles and riddles, face ghoulish enemies that will strike fear into the bravest of souls, all of it set to a spine-tingling soundtrack.”
