Slated to launch\u00a0later this month\u00a0on Xbox Series X and PC,\u00a0The Medium\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is the latest game from Bloober Team, the developer behind heralded horror titles\u00a0such as\u00a0Layers of Fear, Observer<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Blair Witch.\u00a0<\/em>Pitched as a huge new addition to Game Pass and a seminal horror\u00a0experience to usher in the next generation, what fans of\u00a0The Medium\u00a0<\/em>might not know is that the game was originally intended to launch on the Xbox 360.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the\u00a0upcoming release in an interview with Game Informer,\u00a0The Medium<\/a>‘s<\/em> lead designer\u00a0Wojciech Piejko and producer\u00a0Jacek Zi\u0119ba talked at length about the original plan for the game and how the technology needed for\u00a0it shifted drastically over the years. It seems the reason it didn’t actually launch on the 360 or even in the earlier years of the Xbox One comes down to the ambitious nature of the project, with the pair highlighting how\u00a0they needed next-generation hardware to integrate its signature dual-reality mechanic that allows the player to shift between two dimensions.<\/p>\n

“We have two worlds, two games rendered at the same time, and previous generations just weren’t that powerful,”\u00a0Piejko explains when discussing why next-generation hardware was so integral to\u00a0The Medium.\u00a0<\/em>According to the designer, “new technology was like a new language, it gave us more freedom with the story itself.” He goes on to highlight how the impressive hardware of the Xbox Series X<\/a> means so much more than just graphical potential, claiming that “the level of detail, the freedom of physics is much higher.”<\/p>\n

It seems previous hardware simply couldn’t deliver the exact experience the devs wanted, especially considering the team now has the Series X’s enhanced SSD that significantly shortens loading times<\/a>. It will give players the ability to hop between worlds with ease, alongside all the other technical enhancements that will ensure\u00a0The Medium\u00a0<\/em>is Bloober Team’s biggest and most ambitious release to date.<\/p>\n

For those who haven’t been following the imminent release of\u00a0The Medium,\u00a0<\/em>the title follows Marianne: a medium with the ability to cross between the worlds of the living and the dead. Uncovering a dark mystery in an abandoned communist resort, players will have to solve puzzles,\u00a0uncover unnerving secrets, and battle malevolent spirits while navigating through Bloober Team’s new terrifying world. The game has already been heavily compared to the\u00a0Silent Hill<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series, even bringing aboard the iconic horror property’s former composer, Akira Yamaoka.\u00a0It looks to be yet another chilling adventure from the coveted studio.<\/p>\n

The Medium\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is slated to release on January 28 for PC and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n
