Three images from The Medium show us the double reality, reveal a new feature of the game

Among the most interesting games coming soon at the launch of Xbox Series X we have the exclusivenon-cross-gen (it will not be available on Xbox One) of Bloober Team The Medium, which as we know will see us impersonate a psychic able to move at will between our reality and a dark and decrepit parallel reality (the afterlife?).

It's one of the games that will be shown this afternoon at theXbox Games Showcase,and we can finally see the gameplay better; In advance of the revelation, three new images are now leaked from the Games Store showing us the two realities in comparison, also suggesting a feature of the gameplay so far unknown.

The three images have the words "Simultaneous Dual Reality Gameplay", and the images show the same situation as in the two worlds. This could mean that not only will we be able to travel from one world to another, but that everything we will do in one world will happen at the same time in the other. Moreover, the division between the two worlds shown in the images may not only be for demonstration/comparison purposes, but it is possible that in the title, at certain junctures, the screen will really be split in half to show us at the same time the result of our actions in both realities.

And the description in the Store confirms these assumptions:


Discover a mystery shrouded in darkness that only a medium can unravel. Explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time. Use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles that cross both worlds, bring to light distressing secrets, and survive encounters with the Fauce, a monster conceived by an inescapable tragedy.

The Medium is a third-person psychological horror video game whose patented gameplay revolves around a dualistic reality and develops on the notes of the original soundtrack resulting from the collaboration between Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.

  • TAKE ON THE ROLE OF A MEDIUM - Use unparalleled psychic skills reserved for a few people who have a gift. Travel through realities or explore them both at the same time. Take advantage of the Extracorporeal experience to investigate those places where your real self can't get there. Create energy shields and unleash powerful mystical discharges to survive the spirit world and its otherworldly dangers.
  • FIND OUT WHAT'S HIDING - Venture into the depths of an adult story and ambiguous morality where nothing is as it seems and everything has a second face. As a medium, you'll be able to see, hear, and perceive more than anyone else, and your understanding of the events of Niwa Resort will change with each new perspective you assimilate.
  • PLAY IN TWO WORLDS AT THE SAME TIME - The new gameplay, officially patented, allows you to ride around two worlds that are displayed at the same time. Explore both the physical and spirit worlds at the same time and take advantage of their interactions to solve dualistic puzzles,unlock new paths and awaken memories of past events.
  • IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A LUGUBRIOUS REALITY INSPIRED BY BEKSISHSKI - The spirit world of The Medium is a dark reflection on the mirror of our reality, a disturbing and malevolent place where our actions go unpunished, our perverse needs and our most abject secrets can take concrete form. This world was conceived and created from the paintings of Zdzisaw Beksishski, a dystopian surrealist originally from Poland and internationally recognized for his unmistakable and masterfully sinister style.
  • YAMAOKA & REIKOWSKI MUSICS - Immerse yourself in the game's eerie and disturbing atmosphere with the original "dualistic" soundtrack created by the collaboration between Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Yamaoka-san is a legendary Japanese composer best known for his contributions to the Silent Hill series; Reikowski was nominated for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and has worked on critically acclaimed horror video games such as Blair Witch, Layers of Fear and the Observer. The music and tracks of The Medium are the result of the union of their talent and creativity.

To know everything about the game we will have to wait tonight. In the meantime we leave you to the pictures, good vision!
