South of Midnight Rumored to Launch March 2025, Possible TGA Announcement
Compulsion Games' highly-anticipated third-person action-adventure, South of Midnight, is rumored to receive a release window announcement during The Game Awards 2024. Spanish leaker eXtas1s shared the update in a recent YouTube video, hinting at a March 2025 launch for the Gothic fantasy title. While Microsoft's presence at TGA 2024 is expected to be more subdued, this announcement could still be a highlight for fans eagerly awaiting the game.
A Journey Through the Gothic South
South of Midnight was first revealed at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in June 2023. Developed by the team behind Contrast and We Happy Few, the game promises a rich narrative set in a Gothic fantasy version of the Southern United States. Drawing inspiration from regional folklore, the story follows protagonist Hazel, who becomes a Weaver—a mystical mender of broken ties and spirits—after a hurricane devastates her hometown of Prospero.
Armed with magical skills, Hazel embarks on a journey to confront dangerous creatures, save her mother, and unravel her family's entangled history. The game explores themes of loss, connection, and self-discovery, weaving a deeply atmospheric experience that feels both haunting and heartfelt.
While Compulsion Games and Microsoft have yet to confirm these rumors, fans are hoping for a new trailer or additional gameplay details alongside the release window announcement. The unique setting, combined with Compulsion Games' reputation for crafting deeply atmospheric and story-driven worlds, makes South of Midnight a standout among upcoming titles.
