}}{{LocationMediEvil|bgclass=early-gallowmere-bg|bgposition=60% 3%}}'''The Hub''' is a level that was cut from ''[[MediEvil]]''.{{Gameref|Rolling-Demo}} It would have followed on from [[The Halls of Illusion]]. It was a part of the [[City of Madness]] portion of the game. | |||
{{MediEvil levels}} | The Hub appears in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''. The main area consists of five rooms connected via passageways. The central room features a stained glass floor. There are [[chests]] in three of the rooms connected to the central room. One of the chests always contains a [[Gold Shield]], one the [[Crossbow]], and the last one contains a random item. There is a blue [[Magic Bone]] in one of the passageways connecting the rooms. The final room has a spiral staircase which leads to a circular room with dragon statues and three exits, each presumably leading to a different level. | ||
Based on a level flow chart from an unknown period of the game's development, The Hub would have connected several levels together. The level could have been accessed via [[The Entrance Hall]] or The Halls of Illusion, and would have led into [[The Time Device]], The Great Machine, and [[The Lake]].{{TwitterRef|quote=Tidying up the dusty boxes in the cobwebbed attic I found yet more of my original MediEvil game designs, maps and documents.

When asked about the level, [[Chris Sorrell]], the game's producer, did not remember anything about it.{{TwitterRef|Sorrell|1456535476081287172|November 5, 2021|quote=Hmm, I don’t have any recollection of that level at all. I don’t think it can have been anything very exciting, sorry}} | |||

===The Entrance Hall=== | |||
While The Hub was cut from the final game, some of its rooms were repurposed for The Entrance Hall level: | |||

The Hub's central room can still be seen in the [[12AV]] full motion video: | |||

The stained glass floor that Dan falls on in the 12AV FMV can later be seen in ''[[MediEvil 2]]'' during the [[INTROP1]] FMV, at the top of [[Zarok's Lair]], suggesting that The Hub is directly above it: | |||
