With Xbox Series X|S about to get its first proper console exclusive, The Medium dev Bloober Team talks about how the studio has accomplished this achievement.
The Medium is Bloober Team’s most ambitious game to date. Not only is it the biggest production the developer has taken on, but it’s also a next-gen Xbox console exclusive arriving at a time when those are practically non-existent. I spoke to The Medium Lead Designer Wojciech Piejko and Producer Jacek Zięba to find out what pressures this has put on the firm, their thoughts on Game Pass, and just what they think about Microsoft’s budget next-gen console, the Xbox Series S.
“I think it definitely is the most ambitious, because you know this dual screen and all those mechanics, but also it’s like our biggest game in terms of everything,” says Piejko. “Here we switch from the first-person to a third-person perspective which of course requires, you know, more animations and more, you know, mechanics and stuff that we know we weren’t so powerful with as a studio, so yeah, we are, you know, always trying to push ourselves further.”
