Bloober Team releases The Medium DualSense overview
08/08/2021Bloober Team has released a new video – entitled ‘The Medium – DualSense Overview’ – which looks into how the PlayStation 5 version of The Medium increases immersion through the console’s next-gen controller.
Launching on PS5 on September 3, 2021, The Medium is set to take advantage of the console hardware as well as the DualSense controller, offering players the experience of exploring two worlds simultaneously.
“On PlayStation 5, we are taking full advantage of the console’s DualSense controller to immerse you even deeper into the mystery of the Niwa Hotel,” explained Szymon Erdmański, Producer at Bloober Team. “Our goal is to let you feel Marianne’s reactions to what is happening as she explores and interacts with the game world.”
The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features dual-reality gameplay. Players assume the role of Marianne, a medium gifted with several psychic abilities, and explore the real and spirit world both alternatively and simultaneously to uncover a dark mystery masked by disturbing secrets, sinister spirits, and devious puzzles only a medium can solve.
Players can head to the PlayStation Store to preorder the game at the price of $49.99/€49,99/£41.74 with a 10% off discount for PS Plus members before launch. Players who pre-order the game will receive the digital Original Soundtrack (by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski) and The Art of The Medium (digital artbook).
Furthermore, Bloober Team and Black Screen Records announced that the games’ Original Soundtrack will be published on vinyl and CD, with a release expected in October. Pre-orders are available now for the price of €34.
