South of Midnight gameplay shown off in new trailer

And it looks neat!

A new South of Midnight gameplay trailer has shown off just that, and it’s looking very neat.

The latest from We Happy Few‘s Compulsion Games, South of Midnight was revealed last year

“As Hazel, you will explore the mythos and encounter creatures of Southern folklore in a macabre and fantastical world,” Microsoft at the time. “When disaster strikes her hometown, Hazel is called to become a Weaver: a magical mender of broken bonds and spirits.

“Imbued with these new abilities, Hazel will confront and subdue dangerous creatures, untangle the webs of her own family’s shared past and – if she’s lucky – find her way to a place that feels like home.”

Take a look at the gameplay, shown above, and let us know what you think! We’re impressed with the mixture of combat and traversal, anchored by a great soundtrack.

South of Midnight is planned for a 2025 release on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. It’ll also be available through Xbox Game Pass.
