A century after his untimely death in battle, Sir Dan is accidentally resurrected by the evil sorcerer Lord Zarok. Zarok was planning on raising an army of the dead to conquer the Kingdom of Gallowmere, but Fortesque, or what remains of him, isn't having any of it.

Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, took to the PlayStation Blog to let fans know that this is a full remake of the original, "with all of the scarecrows, zombies, werewolves, and mace-wielding knights lurking in the kingdom with more detail and personality than ever before."

Details are thin on the ground at the moment, though it has been confirmed that the game will feature 4K visuals (presumably on PS4 Pro) and release sometime in 2019. According to Layden, more will be revealed in the coming months.
