      The second is where is the official soundtrack to MediEvil 2019? There’s versions on YouTube but no official soundtrack on digital or physical form (the last physical OST for Resurrection sold out years ago.) The simple answer is it’s complicated! Sony America released Med PS4 whilst Sony Europe released the 3 prior games and since the PS4 version contains new versions of music from earlier games this has created problems. There’s light at the end of the tunnnel! A possible solution has been suggested as of Jan ’23 so we’re hopeful that this may well see the light of day.

    71. ↑ "Hello statue community.
      We understand it has been awhile and our communication has been sparse. We have had our heads down trying to solve all of our production issues. We have struggled deeply with all of our direct to customer licensed statues as they all were incredibly low run, highly limited pieces. This was impacted greatly by covid and the factory we chose for the vast majority of these statues has not been able to come back online as fast as we had hoped. Along with that they prioritize larger runs and ours have constantly been placed in the back of the queues over and over again. We had to scale back our business a significant amount and made some pretty big layoffs late last year.
      With all that said we have a path forward. We are being acquired by a larger collectibles and statue manufacturer. This will help expedite production on all delayed projects and hopefully deliver most projects this year. We will be updating each project individually over the coming weeks with as much info as we can add.
      We apologize for our lack of communication, we have been trying to get through these issues the best we can while making good on the projects you all ordered. We will be delivering this year and the quality will be what you all expect from us. Thank you for your support, your kind words in our email and most of all your understanding as we move to complete each and every delayed project we have."       — LEVEL52 STUDIOS on Instagram. Published May 1, 2023. Retrieved May 31, 2023.

I would love another whack at MediEvil. The Cambridge studio guys were called Millennium at the time they were making the original MediEvil and Sony bought them shortly thereafter.
