19 years ago, MediEvil was added to the PlayStation Store in Europe. However, it was removed a few days later due to "failing at the third level." This was likely due to LibCrypt copy protection. The game was added back to the store on September 20, 2007.

Did you know? MediEvil's "The Lake" level was initially one of the game's last levels. It was conceptualised as being a part of an ancient land underneath Gallowmere that Zarok wanted to plunder.
