South Of Midnight Gets First Gameplay Trailer Full Of Magic And Fighting, Coming In 2025
The next game from We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games will arrive in 2025. Additionally, Microsoft reiterated that South of Midnight will come on day one to Game Pass while also showing off the first gameplay trailer for the title at the Xbox Showcase.
The roughly four-minute video–seen below–begins with South of Midnight’s protagonist Hazel riding on a talking catfish. She’s apparently looking for her mother, who has gone missing after a Category 5 hurricane, according to an additional post on Xbox Wire. Their search is interrupted, though, when they come across a giant gator named Two-Toed Tom.
This leads Hazel into jumping off the catfish to go ring a church bell to distract the enormous albino alligator. From here, we see that South of Midnight is played from a third-person perspective as an action-adventure game. Hazel apparently has magical powers, with a spirit-like grapple hook.
