MediEvil is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Other Ocean Emeryville and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4.

The player controls the protagonist, Sir Daniel Fortesque, through a series of levels, using various weapons to fight enemies as well as encountering various non-playable characters.

The game is dedicated to Zarok's voice actor, Paul Darrow, who died on June 3, 2019.

[7] In each level, Sir Dan is able to find a chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player has defeated enough enemies.

Dan can use the chalices to gain access to the Hall of Heroes, where he can talk to one of several non-playable characters to receive a new weapon or other item.

This includes the ability to toggle between a primary and secondary weapon, first introduced as a feature in MediEvil 2,[10] the "Dan Cam", an optional camera viewpoint which uses an over-the-shoulder perspective,[11] and a compendium of information about the game's characters and enemies, known as the Book of Gallowmere.

[7] Optional "Lost Souls" objectives have also been incorporated into the game, which require Sir Dan to complete a mission received from a ghost found in each level;[12] if all Lost Souls objectives are completed, the player unlocks the option to play the original MediEvil on the menu screen, under the name of "Old Game".

Sir Dan's arms were made longer, as they were considered to look strange in the higher resolution of the MediEvil remake.

[23] MediEvil was fully revealed on October 31, 2018,[24] and was confirmed to be a full remake, rather than a remaster as was previously announced.

[30][31][32][33] Aspects of MediEvil's gameplay design were often considered by critics to feel outdated, in particular the game's lack of a checkpoint mechanic.

[33][30][31] Some game mechanics such as the instant death upon falling into water were also subject to criticism,[3][30] and were considered to be aggravated by the unreliable controls and cameras.

[33] GameSpot's James Swinbanks, while also praising characters and visual style, shared similar concerns about the combat as well as other basic tasks which are made difficult by the sloppy controls and camera movements.

[35] On November 5, 2019, MediEvil was listed as the third-best-selling game of the week in a chart in the combined download and retail encompassing 43 countries.
