Still beautiful to look at!
Presented for the first time last yearthe curious South of Midnight showed itself again at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, this time with a trailer that alternates cutscenes with – and here’s the surprise – gameplay!
Exact! The title from Compulsion Games, authors of Contrast and We Happy Few, has finally lifted the veil on its real nature, showing itself as a classic 3D adventure, capable of blending exploration and combat without necessarily relying on an Open World.
Whether it reminds anyone of Zelda or Kena doesn’t matter: South of Midnight he showed all his character in the video that you find at the end of the article, duly impressing the audience in a showcase in which there was certainly no shortage of big names.
In the trailer we follow Hazel, the protagonist, who lost her mother following the passage of a class 5 hurricane, but at the same time reawakened her dormant “Weaver” powers: she is in fact able to manipulate the fabric of energy which gives shape to reality, and thanks to these powers he will come into contact with the creatures seen on video – such as the catfish or the crocodile.
Hazel’s powers in South of Midnight they will generally behave as we can expect from those who manipulate the elements, but they will have a more folkloristic touch, linked to the traditions of the Deep South, which will also be explored in terms of settings – some recreated by visiting the mouth of the Mississippi.
The title will be available during 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam and Cloud, obviously included in the Xbox Game Pass library on launch day.
