With The Medium arriving next month for PlayStation 5 users, and the fact that the game will be taking advantage of the PS5’s DualSense, Bloober Team thought it best to drop a trailer explaining just what users can expect from the enhancement.
Over on PlayStation Blog, Bloober Team producer Szymon Erdmanski explains that The Medium will be take advantage of the PS5 feature “to immerse you even deeper into the mystery of the Niwa Hotel. Our goal is to let you feel Marianne’s reactions to what is happening as she explores and interacts with the game world.”
Erdmanski uses Marianne’s Shield ability as an example of the DualSense feedback, where you can literally feel in your hands the spirit-world moths hitting the barrier. Another is the Out of Body ability, where eventually you’ll suffocate if you don’t return. The longer you remain out of your body, the quicker you’ll feel the controller pulsate – giving you a hint when it’s time to go back.
The Medium is due out for PlayStation 5 both physically and digitally on September 3. The Xbox Series and PC versions will also be granted physical copies on the same day.
Pre-orders are also available via PlayStation Store for $49.99 USD, with a 10% discount for PlayStation Plus members. Pre-order bonuses include a digital copy of the game’s soundtrack, and The Art of The Medium digital artbook.
The Medium is available now digitally for Xbox Series and PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store.
