 Development on ''MediEvil'' began in 1995 at Millennium Interactive in Great Shelford. Originally targetting Windows 95 and the Sega Saturn for release, Sony's interest in publishing the game led to it becoming a PlayStation exclusive. Over the course of development, the game evolved from a simple ''[[wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts 'n Goblins]]''-style arcade experience into a Zeldaesque action role-playing game.
-''MediEvil'' was released for the original [[wikipedia:PlayStation|PlayStation]] on October 9, 1998 in Europe, October 21, 1998 in North America, and on June 17, 1999 in Japan. The game received mostly positive praise from critics upon release, but was criticised for its controls and cumbersome camera. Due to its success in Europe, the game was re-released there in late 1999 as a Platinum range title as well as in a bundle with ''[[cambridge:C-12:C-12: Final Resistance|C-12: Final Resistance]]'' on May 9, 2003. A sequel, ''[[MediEvil 2]]'', was released in 2000 for the PlayStation, and ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'', a reimagining, was released in 2005 for the PlayStation Portable. The game was made available for download on the PlayStation Network in 2006. In 2011, the game was re-released for PlayStation® Certified Android devices such as the Xperia Play. Finally, a [[MediEvil (2019)|remake of the game]] for the PS4 was released in 2019.
