It turns out that one of Xbox’s recently announced original titles is coming earlier than anticipated. During this year’s Xbox Developer Direct event, Xbox in collaboration with Compulsion Games unveiled a fresh trailer for their upcoming Gothic action-adventure set in the Deep South titled “South of Midnight“. In addition to a sneak peek into the development process, we have been given the official release date for this much-anticipated game, which is scheduled for springtime. The title will be available on Xbox consoles, PCs, and through Xbox Game Pass, with its launch set for April 8th.
In the trailer, we witness Hazel, our main character, embark on a self-discovered voyage amidst a magical hurricane. The narrative unfolds as she navigates through a realm steeped in Southern folklore, seeking her mother. Along her journey, she encounters diverse characters and endeavors to guide them towards their optimal selves, having recently gained the power of a Weaver. However, ominous creatures from various myths such as the scaly Two-Toed Tom will pose challenges to her progress. This promises to be an extraordinary adventure, unique among this year’s titles.
The title “South of Midnight” represents Compulsion Games’ initial creation following its acquisition by Xbox in 2018. Prior to this, the team had developed the noir-themed platformer “Contrast” and the retro-futuristic survival game “We Happy Few.” Distinguished by a blend of stop-motion animation and unique aesthetics, “South of Midnight” is expected to be one of Xbox’s most artistically innovative projects. Although it leans towards more stylized graphics as compared to games like Gears of War and Halo, its gameplay aligns well with the audience, offering action-based combat and enjoyable movement mechanics, whether in or out of battle.
Previously discussed was the upcoming release of “South of Midnight” on April 8th. This launch comes following a rather significant month, marked by releases such as the cooperative game “Split Fiction“, the apocalyptic shooter “Atomfall“, and the highly anticipated title “Assassin’s Creed Shadows“. Given the magnitude of these games, it could be challenging for “South of Midnight” to make an impact afterward. However, its unique charm and style might just keep it in the spotlight for a considerable period.
South of Midnight launches into PC and Xbox Series X|S on April 8th.
