Compulsion Games' South of Midnight will arrive in 2025

South of Midnight, first revealed at last year's Summer Game Fest, will launch on Xbox and PC sometime next year. During today's Xbox showcase, we got a first look at how the third-person action-adventure will play.Right off the bat, it reminds me of Square Enix's fun-but-flawed Forspoken. In South of Midnight, protagonist Hazel is apparently pulled into a 'Southern Gothic world' where reality and fantasy are blurred. Hazel is able to move around the environment fluidly, with the new trailer showing off gliding skills, double jumps, and some sort of magical grapple hook to speed up level navigation.We also got even more cutscenes to help flesh out this world, and they still have that Into The Spider-verse jumpy frame-rate trick to separate cutscenes from in-game actionYou'll be able to fight monsters with close-up magical blade attacks and other midrange weaponry. Oh and you seem to befriend ' and ride ' a giant catfish around the magical bayou.Catch up on all of the news from Summer Game Fest 2024 right here!This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/compulsion-games-south-of-midnight-will-arrive-in-2025-174928203.html'src=rss
