New magic has been woven with the reveal of South of Midnight

Compulsion Games have been fairly quiet since they released the DLC for We Happy Few and in that time they have staffed up and now we know what it was for. South of Midnight is their new game and will put players in the shoes of Hazel, after disaster strikes her home town. Check out the announcement trailer below.

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.

As for what type of game it will be, the developers have said its a 3rd person action-adventure game, and uses its location to deliver a narrative adventure that takes full advantage of the folk tales of the area. The game also sports and art direction and musical melodies inspired by the American Deep South and players will be able to explore parts of the world.

There is no release date yet, but once it has one, it will come to Xbox Series X|S and PC.
