PlayStation Productions may be developing movie adaptations for MediEvil and Days Gone

Sir Daniel Fortesque is the protagonist of the MediEvil series games. The first game in the series was released in 1998 on the PlayStation 1 while the most recent installment of the franchise came out in 2019. Sir Daniel Fortesque appeared in the 2012 crossover fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale developed by SuperBot Entertainment as well. Interestingly, both Kratos and Nathan Drake also appeared in the same fighting game, which bodes well for the MediEvil adaptation.

The inclusion of Sir Daniel Fortesque in the teaser video isn't conclusive proof that we'll get a movie or TV adaptation for MediEvil anytime soon. However, all signs point toward a movie or TV project as all characters prominently featured in the teaser have had big screen or small screen adaptations. We assume that an animated TV show will be the most likely scenario but a film adaptation isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Aside from Sir Daniel Fortesque, Days Gone's Deacon St. John is also in the video. However, unlike the MediEvil lead, he is a bit harder to spot. The character model can be seen tucked away in a corner during one of the final shots that features a number of characters.

The movie adaptation for the post-apocalyptic horror survival game from Bend Studios has been rumored to be in the works since last August. Deadline reported that the film adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Vendetta Productions with Outlander's Sam Heughan being eyed for the role of Deacon St. John. Oscar-nominated writer Sheldon Turner has also reportedly been tasked with penning the screenplay for the movie adaptation.

It will likely be a while before we hear official word on the upcoming video game adaptations as the Writers' and Actors' strikes are still in effect. Insiders say that studios plan on returning to the negotiating table by October.
