The MediEvil series was inspired by the work of Tim Burton and Monty Python, and Layden noted that it was "really hard" to make the comedy work for other audiences with localization. A sequel, MediEvil 2, was released in 2000, with a PSP release, MediEvil: Resurrection, landing in 2005. A remake of the first game from Other Ocean Emeryville was released in 2019 for PS4.

"If I could wave a magic wand and have one more bite at an apple, it would be the MediEvil apple," Layden said.

Also in the interview, Layden revealed the one game he was jealous of from a rival platform--Tomb Raider. When he was working in Tokyo during the PS1 days, Layden's job was to help bring Western titles to Japan, and when he saw Tomb Raider from Derby-based Core Design, he wanted it to be a PlayStation game from the start. He didn't get his way, however, as 1996's Tomb Raider debuted as an exclusive to Sega Saturn before coming to PlayStation.

"I wanted it to be on PlayStation. And I saw the [Core Design Jeremy Heath-Smith and Adrian Smith] brothers, and we talked about it, and they were really excited about the concept. We talked it through. They talked it through. Bada bing, bada boom... they signed to bring it out on Sega Saturn. Sega?!" Layden said. "And then shortly thereafter, they did get it onto the PlayStation in Japan as well, but it launched on Sega. And yeah, that always felt... What could I have done to have actually gotten it? But I came that close."
