The Medium – Jan. 28
Best Games With Confirmed 2021 Release Dates
Talk about next-gen bringing new, innovative twists to tried-and-tested genres, and chances are you’ll mention The Medium in the same sentence. From the developers of Layers of Fear, Observer, and Blair Witch, The Medium is a psychological horror title that sees you playing in two parallel worlds at the same time. Sound a bit trippy? Well… yeah, it is.
Players assume control of a medium who heads to an abandoned communist resort where they’ll use their unique psychic abilities to uncover its dark and mysterious secrets.
You’ll encounter spooky spirits (as seen in the latest gameplay snippet) and take on The Maw — a creepy kind of monster born from whatever unsettling darkness lurks at the locale.
The main pull of The Medium’s gameplay is the fact you’ll frequently be exploring both the real and spirit worlds at the same time. This mechanic is also required to solve various puzzles.
Can’t get past an obstacle in the real world? Switching over to the spirit world may hide the solution… as well as The Maw waiting to ambush you.
The Medium is set to release on PC and Xbox Series X|S on Jan. 28, and we’ve got very high hopes for this one indeed.
