The game from Compulsion Games and Xbox Game Studios will be released on other current-gen consoles, leaving the Xbox Series/PC duo behind.

From the creators of Contrast and We Happy Few comes the award-winning South of Midnight, a spellbinding third-person action-adventure game set in the American Deep South. Playing as Hazel, you will explore the mythos and encounter creatures of Southern folklore in a macabre and fantastical world. When disaster strikes her hometown, Hazel is called to become a Weaver, a magical mender of broken bonds and spirits. With these new abilities, Hazel confronts and subdues dangerous creatures, untangles the webs of her family’s past, and, if she’s lucky, finds her way to a place that feels like home.

When a hurricane rips through Prospero, Hazel is pulled into a Southern Gothic world of memory made real, where she must embark on a journey to rescue her mother and safeguard her hometown. In this folktale for modern times, Hazel must reconcile the weight of family, history, and legacy with her own identity. Wield an ancient power to restore creatures and uncover the traumas that consume them. Cast weaving magic to fight destructive Haints, explore the diverse regions of the South, and reweave the tears in the Grand Tapestry. Discover the lush, decayed county of Prospero and its inhabitants. Experience a crafted visual style, touching storytelling, and immersive music inspired by the South’s complex and rich history.
