Alright, listen up! It looks like South of Midnight, that intriguing third-person action-adventure game, is heading to more platforms. I've been keeping my eye on this one ever since it was announced, and if you are like me, you probably want to know when you can play it, right?

Originally, the game was set to launch on Xbox Series and PC, but now Xbox Game Studios and Compulsion Games have revealed that it's also coming to PlayStation 5 and Switch 2! Mark your calendars, because both versions are expected to drop on March 31.

If you're wondering what the game is all about, it's set in the American Deep South and follows the story of Hazel. The game has a really unique vibe. I think you'll get hooked on the worldbuilding.

Now, if you're the kind of person who likes to go all-in, there's also a "Weaver’s Edition" of the game. It comes with a bunch of extras. We're talking an official art book, the original soundtrack, a comic book, a music video, and even a documentary. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal if you're a big fan. However, it is still unclear if these extras will be available for the new platforms or not.

Key Features

I think the best part of this game is the setting. The world of South of Midnight looks amazing, but there are even more details about the gameplay:

  • A Dark Modern Folktale: When a hurricane hits Prospero, Hazel finds herself in a Southern Gothic world of memory made real and must embark on a journey to rescue her mother and safeguard her hometown.
  • Confront Mythical Creatures: Hazel can use her powers to restore creatures and uncover the traumas that consume them, exploring the diverse regions of the South, and reweaving the tears in the Grand Tapestry.
  • Haunting Beauty of the Gothic South: You will discover the county of Prospero and its locals and experience a crafted visual style, touching storytelling, and immersive music inspired by the complex and rich history of the South.

I'm definitely hyped to see South of Midnight reach a wider audience. With its unique setting, intriguing story, and action-adventure gameplay, I reckon it could be a real hit on PlayStation and Switch! I know that I will be playing it.
