Microsoft has announced the release date for South of Midnight.
Compulsion Games‘ action adventure game will be released on April 8 on Xbox Series X/S, PC and Game Pass.
A Premium Edition of the game will also be available, offering up to 5 days early access, a digital artbook, digital comic book, digital soundtrack, a music video and a director’s cut of the previously released official documentary Weaving Hazel’s Journey.
Players planning to play South of Midnight on Xbox Game Pass or buy the Standard Edition will be able to buy a Premium Upgrade Edition to receive the digital extras and the five days’ early access.
More gameplay from the game was shown during the latest Xbox Developer Direct.
Developed by Contrast and We Happy Few studio Compulsion Games, South of Midnight is a third person action-adventure game set in the American Deep South.
The game makes use of a stop-motion animation style, to give the impression that the characters in the game are physical hand-animated models.
“As Hazel, you will explore the mythos and encounter creatures of Southern folklore in a macabre and fantastical world,” reads an official description of the game.
“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.”
In November, Xbox released a half-hour documentary offering a further behind the scenes look at South of Midnight.
