South of Midnight Releases Next Week

Xbox’s next offering ‘South of Midnight’ comes from Compulsion Games and oozes rich New Orleans charm. This action adventure release sees you traverse the swamps of the deep south in an attempt to make it home. In the meantime, you’ll be listening to some creepy jazz tunes, traversing beautiful locales and, of course, fighting off corruption seeking to gain a foothold in the bayous.

South of Midnight is set to release on March 8th next week- with reviews expected at some point in the next couple of days. This has remained one of the most promising Xbox offerings and was one of the stars of the Microsoft Partner Showcase held earlier this year. Being put alongside a new Doom game shows some level of confidence from Xbox here and, from what we’ve seen so far, the game seems to have earned it.

Stop motion cutscenes and swift snappy combat aren’t the only draws of South of Midnight. A deep narrative dealing with heritage, past secrets, and family history that is sure to have as much intrigue as you’d expect from a story set in the deep south of America. Speaking of which, the unique setting of this release is incredibly interesting. You don’t see many games set in or around New Orleans so another entry touting the bayous is very welcome.

If the creepy atmosphere and eerie jazz tunes have drawn you in to South of Midnight, you can check it out when it launches next week on March 8th. Its available on PC and Xbox- with it also being available through Xbox Game Pass day one.
