The Medium is a psychological horror game coming to PC and Xbox Series X and S at the end of January 2021, and we got a sneak peek at the game recently thanks to developer Bloober Team, who also chatted about the time spent in development of the game over lockdown. From Troy Baker to dual composers and avoiding motion sickness, here are 12 facts you didn’t know about The Medium, as well as some brand new PC gameplay. #TheMedium #Eurogamer

I. LOVE. THIS. ISH.
I'm gonna come back when there are more comments to distract…. I mean read, I'm not avoiding seeing the video
I hadn't been keeping an eye on this one, but now I'm intrigued. Might be damaging my wallet earlier than expected this year. Thanks a lot, Aoife!
This is WONDERFUL! Also, it seems accurate on the topic of how people with medianic powers described their experiences (not saying I believe in it, it's just very very curated on this side based on the stories).
Really strong Control/Silent Hill vibes but with a something-ness I can't quite put my finger on. Bioshock Infinite-ish, Dishonoured-esque, Tomb Raider-y, Broken Sword-akin, hints of A Plague Tale Innocence? hmph no, but its something… Ah feck, I'll pre-order it when I can, figure it out when I play it.
Interesting concept, but it looks very walking sim.
already preordered
I quite like the presentation of this, but can't help but think the OOBE thing would be better with just a corner cut rather than leaving that much of the screen basically inactive. Since it is a cinematic thing, she should really automatically look in the direction of the Maw when it's there; that'd be a lot more accessible & realistic too.
Also, it seems to be missing the bit where you con grieving parents out of vast sums of cash.
Looking forward to watching this game, way to chicken to play it.
Had to stop the video twice to go and look up pics of the Hotel Cracovia (what a brute!) and the art of Zdzislaw Beksinski (gorgeously horrifying!) so extra thanks for that! Really like the aesthetic of the game, and what we know of the story is intriguing – hoping to see an eg stream/vid once it launches!
Thank you Aoife! X
I love a good bit of narrative story telling, also it's so good to have a successor to Silent Hill.
Calling it now.
The ghost girl is evil
Looks promising, I’ll keep this game on my radar
Kravov not krakow
"The blooper team said its an important topic the studio wanted to address when things can be branded as fake news"
Honestly, comparing ghost hunting to the use of social media to create disinformation in US Politics is a terrible take.
I get that Eurogamer isn't the one that said that, you were very clear the developer was, but that developer is so tone deaf my teeth hurt.
Headcanon: this is the same Mary-Ann from Tell Me Why. She couldn't handle the stress of being a Medium any more so moved to a remote town of Alaska
I don't usually do horror games but this looks intriguing. Definitely going to give it a look as it's on gamepass. The two worlds certainly sounds interesting.
You forgot to mention The Medium is a timed exclusive

The music at the end is giving me incredible Silent Hill vibes. Can't wait to play this, thanks so much for doing a preview of this game and I look forward to seeing more.
Aoife: 'mirrored'
Youtube captions: 'murdered'
😂
Also, the whole duel worlds concept reminds me of what Respawn did with the time travel level in Titanfall 2. Which was absolutely fantastic I might add.
I'm so sick of Troy Baker. He is so over used. And i lost all respect for him with tlou2
Xbox is finally getting a game for next gen that's not on Playstation…maybe it's good.
This game looks so cool. Really interesting concept for a game. One thing I might be noticing, however – is whichever reality that isn't in focus in the cutscenes playing at a different framerate from the main reality? Wonder if that's a stylistic choice or simply a horsepower one. Regardless, super stoked to see a let's play if this!
Wasn’t sure about this at first but hell yeah I wanna play it now!
Since I got gamepass, I will have to check this out.
I really hope for polish voice over <3
Bit disappointed with the graphics for a next gen only game tbh.
Yes I know it’s rendering 2 scenes but that’s got more to do with the cpu, expected for push on the Gpu a bit more but then I suppose it’s only showing the shabby current state of the tools on Xbox presently 🤷🏼♂️
Amazing to see how far the developers have come since layers of fear😁
Zoe is gonna shit a brick playing that 🤣
Temper your expectations and nobody should spot this title in a future list of Xbox games that failed to measure up to Sony’s first party. You wait for Forza, Fable, Perfect Dark etc to do that.
Looks great 😀
"so get ready to get spokt "… That sounds way too cute it got a good chuckle out of me
