Summary
A new rumor suggests that a remake of the classic PS1 titleMediEvil 2will debut at the speculated PlayStation Showcase in May. The report originates from Orangee, a supposed playtester who previously leaked details about upcomingGravity Rushprojects, and alleges that the game is being handled by the same team who shipped the 2019MediEvilremake.
Orangee first entered the fray with claims of aGravity Rushmovie in developmentat Sony, which were proven accurate at the company’s CES 2024 press conference. They’ve also claimed that a remastered version ofGravity Rush 2is set to launch this summer for PS5, with a PC version coming at a later date. They added that the remaster should be out by late summer (August-September) and that Sony even has a functional Steam Deck build of the game. It does sound plausible, since Sony usually aligns a game release adjacent to a PlayStation Productions project of the same IP.
The leaker revealed in aDiscord channelthat aMediEvil 2remake has been in the works at Other Ocean Interactive since 2021, and is apparently slated for release this May. Other Ocean had previously shipped 2019’sMediEvilremake back in 2019, so it’s logical to assume it’ll be working on the sequel’s remake as well.
Orangee’s claims suggest that theMediEvil 2remake is planned to be revealed at the rumored PlayStation Showcase in May. Moreover, this has led to speculation that Sony will shadow drop the remake after the Showcase, which means it’ll be available to play right after it’s shown. Crediblegaming insider Jeff Grubbfirst talked about this event on a recent GiantBomb podcast.
An Upcoming PlayStation Event Seems More And More Likely
ThisMediEvil 2rumor further reinforces the notion of a potential PlayStation Showcase in May. The company held its last showcase in May 2023, so it can be assumed it’ll continue the pattern this year too. Sony also has confirmed 2024 titles that have yet to receive release dates, likeConcordand theSilent Hill 2remake, which would ideally have to be shown off soon. There were alsowhispers ofGhost of Tsushima 2getting a formal announcement this year.
With Orangee’s recent claims of the MediEvil 2 remake andGravity Rush 2remaster, the odds are stacking up in favor of an exciting summer for PlayStation gamers. However, it’s important to note that there’s no confirmation from Sony yet. Although Orangee’s track record has been fairly accurate so far, this news should still be taken with a grain of salt. But with combined hindsight, a PlayStation event in the coming months appears more possible than not.
