Bloober Team, the company behind the Xbox Series X|S console exclusive The Medium, has revealed a few more details about the game. Game director Jacek Zieba revealed that the game will last between 8 and 10 hours and that about 33% of it will be played with the dual-reality perspective, as the image below shows:
“The main belief of the game is duality and providing different points of view, from the story to the end of the gameplay, and that is why dual-reality gameplay is one of the foundations of The Medium. The game does not use dual-reality gameplay all the time; players can expect to play in it for about 33% of the game, while the rest of the game takes place within a single reality, either in the real world or in the spirit world.”
“This is to constantly surprise players about which world they are currently in, and it also aims to present new challenges – how can players use the world to their advantage? At some points in the game, the player will be able to move from the real world to the spirit world in specifically designated places. It will not be possible to switch between worlds at any moment of the game, since the whole game was designed so that new gameplay mechanics can be discovered within their own realities, as well as between each other during dual-reality gameplay.”
“The dual-reality mechanic also promotes gameplay and exploration, besides shaping the atmosphere itself. In one world, we may be in a seemingly safe place, but players will be in two worlds at the same time, so we never really know whether something is lurking in the other reality.”
The developer also mentions that games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill were the main inspiration during the game’s development. Look out for The Medium on January 28, 2021 on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
