Beasts in the Bayou
Two trailers into the Xbox showcase and I’m already tired of reading the words “In-Engine Footage.” We saw it in theFabletrailer and we saw it inSouth of Midnight, the upcoming title from Compulsion Games. The studio, best known for the highly questionableWe Happy Few, put together a trailer that was 2:30 of pretty much nothing.
It looks great. I love the art direction here and there aren’t nearly enough games with a southern gothic setting. Or at least not nearly enough that I’ve played. But beyond that, what can I say about it? That trailer may be in-engine, but it might as well be pre-rendered for all it did to show us how this game would actually play.

South of Midnightwill launch someday in the future, hitting Xbox Game Pass on day one.
