Microsoft has announced the release date of South of Midnight, the new third-person action adventure developed by Compulsion Games, the studio behind Contrast and We Happy Few.
Playing as Hazel, we will have to venture into the mythology of her land, meeting folkloristic creatures. Hazel will inherit the magic of the Weavers: enchantresses capable of mending broken bonds and spirits. Thanks to her new abilities, Hazel will face and tame dangerous creatures, unravel the tangle of her family’s past and, if she’s lucky, manage to find a place to feel at home.
After a hurricane destroys the fictional town of Prospero, in the Deep South of the United States of America, Hazel finds herself in a gothic world of memories come true and must embark on a journey to save her mother and protect the town. In this modern fairy tale, Hazel will have to make peace with history, her family and her heritage to safeguard her identity.
South of Midnight releases April 8 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. It will be included in the Game Pass service catalog at launch.
