KRAKOW, POLAND – August 28th, 2021.
Ahead of the game’s launch on PlayStation®5 next month, Bloober Team presents a new video: “The Medium” PS5 – Gamescom Launch Trailer.
The trailer showcases key elements on the game’s story, and features both primary locations and protagonists, including the Hound – a mysterious entity from the spirit world.

Following a successful global launch on PC and Xbox Series X|S on January 28, 2021, Bloober Team is excited to bring The Medium to PS5™ to take advantage of the console hardware as well as the DualSense controller, offering players the experience of exploring two worlds simultaneously.
The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features innovative dual-reality gameplay. Players assume the role of Marianne, a medium gifted with several psychic abilities, and explore the real and spirit world both alternatively and simultaneously to uncover a dark mystery masked by disturbing secrets, sinister spirits, and devious puzzles only a medium can solve.
Players can head to the PlayStation Store to pre-order the game at the price of $49.99/€49,99/£41.74 with a 10% off discount for PS Plus members before launch.
