The Live-Action Trailer For ‘The Medium’ Brings the Game’s Dual Worlds to Unsettling Life
The Medium is inarguably Bloober Team‘s biggest game to date, and with just two weeks until its release, the launch campaign is ramping up with gameplay videos, technical updates, and fancy new trailers. Today, we get one of those fancy new trailers in the form of an atmospheric live-action promo.
The cinematic trailer, written and produced by Oscar nominee Tomasz Bagiński, features a live-action version of the game’s protagonist experiencing both sides of the game world (the dreary, dilapidated reality, and the hellish spirit world) as creepy visions and looming threats manifest around them. It certainly captures the tone and atmosphere of what we’ve seen of the game so far.
Interestingly, Baginski’s award-winning CG short film The Cathedral was inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński, the same painter that Bloober references in the design of The Medium‘s spirit world, so it’s a fine match.
It won’t be long until we find out if The Medium will be the first horror game success of 2021. It’s fair to say I’m pretty optimistic given Bloober’s decent track record in horror, and that it has names such as Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka involved in the project.
The Medium is out January 28 on Xbox Series X/S and PC to buy and as part of GamePass.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
