The Medium delayed to next year

Psychological-horror game, ‘The Medium’ won’t be releasing this December as the developer has decided to delay the launch.

“Today we have made the difficult decision to delay the launch of The Medium to January 28, 2021”, says developer Bloober Team in the announcement. “It wasn’t an easy choice to make, but one made due to the COVID-19 situation in Poland, as well as the current schedule of other games on the market”

The Medium is an upcoming psychological-horror game developed and published by Bloober Team, the developer behind popular horror games like Blair Witch, Observer and Layers of Fear. It is an unique game featuring dual-reality gameplay with two interconnected worlds where actions from one world will impact the other.

Why is the game delayed?

Apparently Cyberpunk 2077’s delay is affecting other developers too. It is speculated that Cyberpunk 2077’s delay has something to do with this, just like in case of the new Path of Exile expansion. CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 was scheduled to launch on November 19, but then delayed to December 10. Developers stated that they want to make improvements and raise the “quality bar”.

The new date for Cyberpunk 2077 is the same as the one for ‘The Medium’. And hence it is speculated that Cyberpunk is the reason behind ‘The Medium’ getting delayed. This speculation is likely true as Path of Exile’s latest expansion has also been delayed to 2021 to avoid clash with Cyberpunk 2077’s new launch date.

Bloober Team will be utilizing this extra time to further polish the game in time for the release.

What if Cyberpunk 2077 gets delayed again?

If Cyberpunk 2077 gets delayed again, other developers might have to postpone or prepone(highly unlikely) release of their games to ensure that Cyberpunk 2077, the one of the most awaited games of the year doesn’t overshadow their games.
