There’s not too long of a wait now until Xbox Series X|S and PC gamers can get their hands on Bloober Team’s spine-chilling horror adventure The Medium, but those itching to get an early taste of the grisly sights they will encounter can check out this newly released gameplay trailer. It offers fourteen-minutes of footage too, so there’s plenty to see to prepare yourself for the horrors coming later this month…

Check out the trailer below:

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.

Marianne is gifted with a number of psychic abilities she must combine to overcome the threats and obstacles of both worlds, such as the protective Spirit Shield and the more potent Spirit Blast. As she uses her powers to untangle the mystery of the Niwa resort, her investigation eventually takes her beyond the walls of the haunted hotel to other locations, including the mysterious Old Fort showcased for the first time in the new gameplay.

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, travelling to the material world makes The Maw invisible but also blind, so it relies solely on hearing to locate its prey there.

The Medium is coming to the Xbox Series X|S and PC on January 28th 2021. Find out more on the official website through this link.
