South of Midnight release date announced at Xbox Developer Direct In a gaming industry dominated by sequels and endless online shooters, South of Midnight looks like a true original.
Haints, the game’s main enemy class, take many corrupted forms, while mythical beasts like Two-Toed Tom (a giant alligator) and Huggin’ Molly (a massive spider with the head of a woman) sound like the big bosses.
A magical bildungsroman about a teenage girl navigating an enchanted Southern town submerged by the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, the upcoming game now has a concrete release date as revealed during the latest Xbox Developer Direct show.
You’ll be able to play South of Midnight on April 8 as a console exclusive on Xbox Series X/S, along with Game Pass and PC (via the Microsoft Store and Steam).
At one point, South of Midnight's heroine, Hazel, encounters a giant catfish who plops down from a tree just like Kaa, the mesmerising snake from Kipling’s classic tale.
