Much to the delight of PlayStation enthusiasts, MediEvil was re-released on PS4 this October. The remake has new backgrounds and some new music, but most everything (even the voice acting) should look, sound, and feel like a better version of the original. But many fans want to know if something incredibly important is still included in the new one: do the old PS1 cheat codes still work?

Do MediEvil’s Cheat Codes Still Work?

Video game developers were big on cheat codes back in the 1990s, so there are several cheat codes in the original MediEvil that helped players out. While the new version feels like the old version, in many ways the PS4 and PS1 editions are completely different from one another and the cheat codes were not included as working codes. They do, however, give players a trophy called Old-School Sneaky when input.

If players are looking for an easy game to platinum, MediEvil is great for that. Like Old-School Sneaky, the trophies are all pretty easy to get and don’t add much time to how long MediEvil takes to beat.

What are the Cheat Codes?

There are four original cheat codes, and any of them can be input to get Old-School Sneaky and get players a little closer to the MediEvil platinum. First, players will need to hold down R2 while typing in the whole cheat.

  • Cheat Mode (PAL) - Down, Up, Square, Triangle, Triangle, Circle, Down, Up, Square, Triangle Extended Cheat Mode (PAL) - Triangle, Circle, Triangle, Circle, Circle, Triangle, Left, Circle, Up, Down, Right, Circle, Left, Left, Triangle, Right, Circle, Left, Left, Triangle, Circle, Down, Circle, Circle, Right Cheat Mode (NTSC) - Triangle, Circle, Circle, Triangle, Square, Circle, Left, Circle, Up, Down Extended Cheat Mode (NTSC) - Square, Triangle, Circle, Up, Triangle, Triangle, Right, Circle, Left, Left, Square, Triangle, Right, Circle, Left, Left, Square, Triangle, Circle, Down, Circle, Circle, Right

Although the new PS4 edition of MediEvil has made some massive changes, all of them appear to have been for the better. Many players might miss the cheat codes, but they certainly won’t miss the pixelated graphics and will love the additional bosses and content that will be available in the PS4 version.

MediEvil, originally for PlayStation 1, is now available for PS4.
