Queen Victoria (May 24, 1819 – January 22, 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign is known as the Victorian era.
History
The Queen was mentioned in a book in the Museum in Kensington, where a celestial grammar horn was on display. It was hoped that the national anthem blasted through the horn would be heard by aliens who would be moved to pledge allegiance to Victoria as a result.
Behind the scenes
Development
Concept art of Queenzilla by Jason Wilson.
Queen Victoria was to appear in MediEvil 2 as Queen-zilla, a play on Godzilla. She was set to be the final boss, but was eventually replaced with a big demon.[2] She was to be controlled by Palethorn through his steam powered aircraft and fought in the cut Parliament level.[b][3]
A 3D model of the human version of the Queen was made for the game. A thumbnail image of it can be found on one of the game's press discs.
Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 No years about Queen Victoria's life are provided in MediEvil 2. However, since this is a historical character, real world dates are used on this page. These are subject to change should they be contradicted by future in-game information.
- ↑ Boss fights in MediEvil 2 are generally their own separate level, so it is likely Queen-zilla would have been fought in a level bearing her name that was separate from Parliament, e.g. Queen-zilla, Queen Victoria, The Queen, etc.
