The Medium

The Medium’s Gameplay Is So Unique That They Patented It

The Medium was revealed earlier in the year as a grim psychological thriller from the teams that brought us Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer.

Tonight, at the Xbox Games Showcase, we got a bit of a better look at the way the game will play.

Called the “Dual Reality” system, it’s hardly groundbreaking as a concept, but in terms of gameplay you’ll control Marianne in two realities at the same time.

It looks pretty great, and you can see how that looks below:

It’s one of the more impressive uses of next-gen technology to push gameplay forward rather than just giving us nicer visuals, though it’ll take time to see just how practical controlling two realities will be.

The Medium is a timed exclusive for the Xbox Series X and PC, and will be available on Game Pass when it launches later this year.
