Bloober Team, a video game developer and publisher that's based in Kraków, Poland, has announced 'The Medium,' a third-person psychological horror game that's expected to launch in December 2020.
Taking place in two different realities, players will explore the game as a medium who has the power to enter into the spirit world to connect with sinister entities. After seeing a vision of a child's murder, the medium travels to the abandoned hotel resort where the crime is suspected to have taken place. By looking for clues in both realities, players aim to solve the mystery while they fight against the terrifying creatures that inhabit the spirit world.
The Medium is optimized for Xbox Series S and X, and will be available exclusively on PC and Microsoft's next-gen consoles.
