Xbox has released a 30-minute South of Midnight documentary

Xbox has released a half-hour documentary offering a behind the scenes look at upcoming first-party game South of Midnight.

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.

“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.”

The new South of Midnight documentary, which is viewable above, features interviews with the developers and actors bringing the coming of age adventure to life. It also includes some fresh gameplay too.

South of Midnight will be released in 2025 for Xbox Series X/S and PC. It will be available on Game Pass on day one.

Compulsion Games has also announced a South of Midnight box set. Priced at $139.95 and expected to ship next April, it includes a 160-page art book, a two-LP vinyl with the full game soundtrack, a comic book, artwork and a fridge magnet.
