There’s a slew of fresh Xbox games hitting the scene this week, and at the forefront of those releases is Compulsion Games’ eagerly awaited title, South of Midnight.
This game has been generating buzz since the Premium Edition dropped on April 3. Now, gamers can dive into the Standard Edition on April 8. Best part? As an Xbox first-party offering, it hits the ground running on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
If you missed my review of South of Midnight, let’s catch you up. I mentioned, "I’ve been captivated by the tale of young Weaver on her quest to save her mother. It’s a journey I sincerely hope introduces us to more of Hazel down the line. South of Midnight truly embraces the spirit of Southern Gothic and the nuances of the South, offering players an experience rich in depth and meaning."
