Southern Gothic folklore action game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight, the latest from Contrast and We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games, wil🌠l launch on Xbox and PC with day-one Game Pass support on April 8, 2025.🌊 If you shell out for the Premium Edition, you can play early starting April 3.
On top of a release date, today's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Developer Direct reveal also gave us a closer look at 🌜our heroine's textile-themed abilities and th🉐e delightfully named bosses on the receiving end of those powers.
Hazel, new to her Weaver powers, can spin up obje🔯cts to interact with the environment or unravel enemies to cleanse the darkne🐈ss infecting the land. Combat is a mix of melee combos, jump attacks, and charge attacks, with cooldowns limiting your thread moves instead of a stamina bar. There's a focus on pushing and pulling enemies to control fights, and the devs reckon "the combat system is fast and responsive."
That's all well and good, but I can tell you the GamesRadar+ chat was flush with excitement not for the combat, which looks quite good, but mostly for characters like Catfish, a big ol' catfish mentor, and some of the b𝐆est-named bosses of the year.
When I think of giant animal bosses with silly nam🍬es in an action game, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's Golden Hippopotamus, which is – get this – a golden hippopotamus, immediately comes to mind. South of Midnight ups the ante with Two-Toed Tom the giant alligator and Huggin' Molly the whatever-the-hell-that-is. Let's not forget Rougarou, a bird monster who could pass for a wrestler with a reall💃y good costume.
The look and feel of South of Midnight has always been intriguing – having lived i🅷n Georgia my whole life, I can tell you from experience that southern goths shouldn't be underestimated – and its colorful bosses hammer i🐟t home. And packed into a game that, , "will take most players between 10-12 hours to complete"? Sign me up.
South of Midnight has been one of the lower-key Xbox games, but could end up being an ace up its sleeve for 2025.
