The new “The Threats” trailer introduces a new character, whose name and true intentions are currently shrouded in mystery:
There are more sides to the mystery of The Medium. A new character, whose appearance is based on Polish actor Marcin Dorociński and whose name will be made known when the time is right, enters the stage and ups the stakes, while The Maw turns out to not be the only bloodthirsty monster out there.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features patented dual-reality gameplay and an original soundtrack co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.
Become a Medium
Wield unique psychic abilities reserved for those with the gift. Travel between the realities or explore them both at the very same time.

See What’s Hidden

Enter a Dark Reality Inspired by Beskinski
The Medium’s spirit world is a dark mirror reflection of our reality, a grim and unsettling place where our unpunished deeds, evil urges, and vile secrets manifest themselves and can take on a form. This world has been invented and designed under the inspiration of Zdzisław Beksiński’s paintings, Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly ominous style.
Music by Yamaoka & Reikowski
Immerse yourself in the disturbing and oppressive atmosphere of the game thanks to the original ‘dual’ soundtrack co-created by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Yamaoka-san is a legendary Japanese composer best known for his work on the Silent Hill series; Reikowski is a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominee who worked on such acclaimed horror games as Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer. Now they join their creative forces for the music and songs of The Medium.
The Medium is launching January 28th, 2021 across Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X+S, and on Xbox Game Pass for both Xbox and PC.
