[STEAM] South of Midnight Release Date Revealed at Xbox Developer Direct

[Steam 0]

During today's Xbox Developer Director, we saw a new trailer for South of Midnight complete with a release date of April 8, 2025.

In the trailer, we saw a good look at Hazel's powers, which blend the traditional craft of weaving with magic to allow her to fight, conjure things, and overcome environmental obstacles. As she fights, Hazel "unravels" enemies to destroy them in action combat, and has some elements of customization in her fighting style that can help her counter different types of enemies.

Hazel will visit different different regions ruled by magical creatures, each one with a different Southern Gothic history that she'll need to heal by collecting their fragmented memories. In the trailer, we got a look at several of these creatures, including a real big bird and a massive crocodile covered in spikes with giant trees going out of its back.
