As someone who was raised amidst the enchanting mysteries of the Carolinian swamps, I can’t help but feel a profound connection to the upcoming adventure game, South of Midnight. The eerie allure of these Southern Gothic landscapes has always held me captive, much like a gator ensnaring its prey.
We’ve got plenty of details to dive into for one of the more unique Xbox games launching next year.
On Tuesday, a documentary was jointly released by Xbox Game Studios and Compulsion Games, offering insights into the art, soundtrack, and narrative of their upcoming third-person adventure game titled South of Midnight. To create an authentic experience for this game, Montreal-based Compulsion Games sought collaboration from various regions within the United States and Canada, specifically recruiting professionals skilled in Southern Gothic storytelling to breathe life into this imaginative setting.
As a bystander, I noticed Ahmed Best, famed for his Star Wars contributions, stepping into the role as both voice and performance director within the team. Simultaneously, Adriyan Rae contributes her voice and performance capture skills to bring the game’s lead character Hazel to life. Lastly, Nona Parker Johnson offers her performance capture and stunt support.

While preorders for the game aren’t open yet, there is an art and music bundle for South of Midnight that’s now available for preorder. Weighing in at $140, it includes a hardcover art book and the game’s soundtrack on vinyl.
Kicking off 2025 with a southern adventure?
Everything that Compulsion Games and Xbox showed in this documentary speaks volumes to me.
As a kid, I was raised down south, spending much of my youth wandering through the Carolinas, and I’ve always been fascinated by tales of the swamps and the creatures hiding within them. There’s something unique about these stories – a tranquil unease that resonates with me. I can’t wait to socialize with Hazel, Two-Toed Tom, and the rest of the gang in South of Midnight, whether they are human or alligator.
I’m curious to know when the game will be launched, given that the snippets of gameplay I’ve seen (including those shown at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024) indicate significant progress. Fingers crossed that we find out the exact release date soon.
In 2025, the game titled “South of Midnight” will make its debut on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. Similar to all Xbox first-party games, it’ll be accessible from day one through the subscription service, specifically, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and also PC Game Pass.
