Originally announced eight years ago, The Medium was back last May as a next-gen game made exclusively for Xbox Series X and Series S – but also intended for PC users.

The psychological horror of Poles by Bloober Team should have come out next 10 December, but it has just been postponed in January 2021. The reason? The health emergency, first of all, but it is also a certain Cyberpunk 2077 to get a grip on it, as the developers themselves suggest.

The Coronavirus has undoubtedly created many difficulties for workers and the software house is one of the many companies affected. Regarding the “other games”, in all probability it is the aforementioned Cyberpunk 2077 the main cause of the postponement of The Medium: we remind you that the CD Projekt RED game was also recently postponed, with the new launch fixed just for 10 December 2020.

Bloober Team will avoid clashing with the ambitious sci-fi RPG of their compatriots, but they will take this opportunity to refine their product and ‘tease’ eager fans with more announcements. Next 28 January , therefore, The Medium will land on Xbox Series X | S and PC .
