Get a extended look at The Medium’s gameplay
Acclaimed studio Bloober Team today debuted an extended look at gameplay from its upcoming psychological horror title The Medium, showcasing the different perspectives, environments and powers players will experience when the game is released. The 14-minute video sees the titular medium Marianne explore the real and spirit world both alternatively and simultaneously; showcasing the unique split-screen dual reality gameplay system that will see you play in two locations at the same time. Throughout the game players will be pushed and pulled seamlessly between these two worlds – with about a third of the action taking place in the real world, a third solely in the spirit world and a third in both realms simultaneously.
The video also gives players a taste of gameplay encounters against The Maw, the main antagonist voiced by Troy Baker, and reveals one of its unique abilities. Deceitful and insatiable, The Maw just like Marianne can travel between the real and the spirit world, thus chasing Marianne across both realities. In the spirit world, The Maw is visible and can easily spot Marianne, while she can defend herself with the Spirit Blast. However, traveling to the material world makes The Maw invisible but also blind, so it relies solely on hearing to locate its prey there. The game is now available for preorder on Steam, the Epic Store and the Microsoft Store with a 10% preorder discount. Two preorder bonuses, the soundtrack and a digital artbook, are included with Steam preorders. The Medium will launch on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Store on January 28, 2021.
