South of Midnight, the upcoming action-adventure game from the ex-Arkane dev behind We Happy Few set in the Deep South, finally gets a release window

It’s the third day of this year’s Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Games Showcase has given us a brand-new glimpse into South of Midnight’s mythos – as well as an official release window.

A year has passed since developer Compulsion Games, the studio behind We Happy Few, first revealed its upcoming action-adventure title set in a fantastical version of the American Deep South – South of Midnight. The team has now graced us with its first big gameplay trailer as well as South of Midnight’s launch year, and it looks like the modern folktale experience is coming soon.

South of Midnight will release sometime in 2025 and will be available to play on both PC and Xbox or via Game Pass.
