Unveiling a New Surprise Game for April: A Cult Classic!

The PS Plus Premium service has a nice surprise for its European subscribers. Originally announced on its American counterpart, a truly cult game is finally coming to us.

The game due to arrive on the PS Plus Premium in question was leaked last week, and it is of course the iconic MediEvil! This PS1 monument is therefore arriving on the PlayStation subscription service, fully compatible on PS4 and PS5. This is not the only PS1 classic that delights subscribers.

A cult surprise addition from the PS1 to the PS Plus Premium

This is one of the biggest attractions of PS Plus Premium from PlayStation's subscription service. This allows nostalgic fans to play an ever-growing catalog of cult games ranging from the PS1 to the PS3. Since yesterday, it is therefore the striking MediEvil in its PS1 version which honors it with its illustrious presence. Originally released in 1998, the title developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Cambridge had marked its time.

We play Sir Daniel Fortesque, a brave knight long deceased but mysteriously brought back to life. He will have to take advantage of this second chance to once again face the forces of evil and thwart the plans of a terrible evil sorcerer. To defeat formidable enemies, he will be able to count on an arsenal full of weapons. On classic paper, MediEvil made itself known above all thanks to the offbeat representation of its world, mixing horror and humor with mastery.

Another notable addition from the PS1 era

MediEvil didn't arrive alone on PS Plus Premium. Another well-known PS1 game was also invited to the party. This is Star Wars Rebel Assault 2: The Hidden Empire, a rail shooter developed by LucasArts and released in 1995. The PS Plus in its Extra and Premium versions also welcomed since yesterday the excellent NEXON title Dave the Diver . And the very good additions are far from finished this month.

Among the next arrivals to watch out for, we have Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, a promising metroidvania bearing the EA Originals label. It will arrive on April 23, also on the Extra and Premium versions of PS Plus. Something to keep you busy while waiting in particular for the next flagship exclusive of the PS5 scheduled for April 26: Stellar Blade.
