I’m so excited! Compulsion Games just announced that South of Midnight is coming to PS5 in Spring 2026! It’s already out on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but I’ve been waiting to play it on PlayStation, and it’s finally happening!
The developer announced on social media that the game will be released for both PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
This is Compulsion Games’ third project. They previously created the PlayStation 4 launch game Contrast and We Happy Few.
South of Midnight is an action-adventure game set in the American Deep South, drawing inspiration from local folklore. Players take on the role of Hazel, who investigates the myths and creatures of this region within a dark and imaginative world. After a disaster hits her town, Hazel becomes a Weaver – someone with magical abilities to heal fractured connections and spirits.

While the game isn’t flawless and the fighting system could be better, its incredible heart, unique style, and overall appeal make it truly captivating.
