A new teaser trailer for Bloober Team’s The Medium has been unveiled that showcases a new character for the upcoming horror game. The brief video has all the trademarks fans have come to expect from the creators of Layers of Fear and Observer: darkness, mystery, and creeping horror. Not much is known about this new character other than what he looks and sounds like. We don’t even know his name yet.
Here’s what the developers have to say about the mysterious new man:
The character’s face whose name will be revealed in time, is based on Marcin Dorociński, a Polish actor who fans will recognize from the popular Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit. This mysterious figure is capable of ruthlessness and brutality and has his own revenge driven agenda. As players uncover more about his story, they will see how it connects with Marianne’s investigation.
The Medium is a third-person psychological horror title that takes place in dual realities in which players will have to solve puzzles in one world which can have an effect on the other. It’s shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated indie horror games of the year (even though it’s not due for release until next year). We honestly wouldn’t expect anything less given the developers previous track record for creating intense and beautifully constructed horror experiences.
Sadly, we do have to wait a little longer before we can get our mitts on the game. It was originally due to release this December 10th but has been pushed back until early 2021. The official release date (according to the developers and the new trailer) is January 28th. It’s set to be available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. There’s no word yet about whether there will be a PlayStation 5 release or if it will also be available for the PS4/Xbox One.
