Game studio Bloober Team has released a brand-new trailer for upcoming video game The Medium.
The new video is live action based on the upcoming psychological horror title. It is two and a half minutes long and was produced in cooperation with award-winning VFX and animation studio Platige Image. It also involves academy award nominee Tomasz Baginski as the writer and creative producer and talented Pawl Maslona as Director.
The trailer brings to life in stunning detail the game’s unique atmosphere and art style inspired by painter Zdzisław Beksiński – in addition the key characters central to the game’s mystery, including Marianna the titular medium, an enigmatic man named Thomas, a spirit called Sadness, and The Maw, a deceptive and hostile entity who can travel between the material and spirit world.
“The Medium is a game with a very strong narrative backbone. The most important thing for me was to understand what the essence of this story is, who its heroes are and its tone,” said Writer & Creative Producer, Bagiński. “The task was to lean as hard as possible on the emotional side of the story while trying to keep as many of the twists as possible a secret. The script is supposed to build a certain mood rather than reveal a story.”
“The Medium is our biggest and most ambitious project to date,” said Piotr Babieno, CEO, Bloober Team. “When we thought who could write a live action trailer for the game, Tomasz Bagiński quickly became the most natural choice. After all, his Oscar-nominated The Cathedral was also inspired by the art of Zdzisław Beksiński, just like the spirit world in our game. I’m personally very happy that we could create something together.”
Pre-order The Medium on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store for only $49.99 with a 10 percent off discount before launch.
