Dive into the captivating narrative and gameplay of South of Midnight, revealed at the Xbox Developer Direct 2025. Inspired by Deep South folklore, this action-adventure game promises a unique and thrilling experience.
A Journey Through the Deep South
The game follows Hazel, a young woman whose search for her mother after a devastating hurricane leads her into a fantastical world brimming with creatures from Southern legends. Compulsion Games' narrative designer, Zaire Lanier, unveiled the game's April 8th, 2025 release date, along with details about Prospero, the game's setting, a blend of diverse Southern landscapes.
Hazel discovers she's a "Weaver," capable of manipulating the threads that connect all things. Her journey will take her through flooded lands, swamps, and Appalachian mountains, where she'll encounter the Haints – corrupted creatures spreading decay.
Early access begins April 3rd, 2025, with the Premium Edition ($49.99). The standard edition is priced at $39.99, and Game Pass subscribers can play on launch day.
Mastering the Art of Weaving
Combat in South of Midnight revolves around Hazel's Weaving abilities. Using a spindle, weaving hooks, and a distaff, she'll employ spells like "Push," "Pull," and "Weave" to strategically engage enemies. Timing is key to landing combos and stunning opponents.
Weaving isn't just for combat; it's also crucial for exploration and puzzle-solving. Hazel can conjure past incarnations of objects, such as a spectral carriage or a glider, to navigate her environment.
Confronting Mythical Creatures
Hazel's adventure will lead her to various regions, each ruled by a unique mythical creature with its own rich history. Two-Toed Tom, a massive albino alligator, was showcased in the Developer Direct. To heal the corrupted creatures, Hazel must collect Echoes, fragments of haunted memories, and engage in epic battles before restoring them.
Embark on Hazel's unforgettable journey to save her mother and unravel the mysteries of the Deep South. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
