The Medium has been announced for the PS5 now and we will be able to head into the dual-worlds of The Medium again
As if we could not see it coming beforehand, it looks like The Medium is finally making the leap from the Xbox Series X and PC to head over to the PS5. This was one of the smaller announcements that slipped out during E3 this year from Bloober Team and it should be something to excite us all just a bit more. It was another great entry from the developer before when it hit us and now on September 3rd, we will get to experience the dual-world mechanics and maybe with a few new features along the way. They are looking to use the features of the DualSense controller for The Medium to mix in a few things we did not get before; they just are not fully listed as of yet. Hopefully, it is more than just a bit of extra rumble and they will be able to use the haptic feedback and triggers just a bit more than expected.
In addition to all of this, it looks like The Medium will also have a physical edition out there on all of the platforms too. It will also be in a new Two Worlds Special edition that comes with a Steelbook, a soundtrack of the game, and a 32-pages hardcover artbook to add to the collections around our homes. All in the North American regions out there and then the Japanese markets will see The Medium hit before the end of the year here. That is something I am a bit more interested to see how it is received given the differences in cultures and the supernatural elements within. If you have missed out on all of this before now, you can have a look at how the game will look on the console and then get ready to play it all again in a few months from now.
