As exciting as Doom is, the highlight of the showcase for me personally was South of Midnight, a . Xbox previously promised that South of M൲idnight would be a big part of the Developer Direct, and it certainly delivered on that count.

The studio went into more detail on the game's story, combat, exploration, and Hazel's unique set of weaving powers. Without a doubt, it's the best look at the game we've had so far.

While it was great to see more of South of Midnight and the work that Compulsion Games has put into it, the highlight of its time in the showcase was when the game's release date was revealed. Surprisingly, we can expect to play South o🀅f Midnight in just a few months, as it's currently set for release on April 8.

Interestingly, this tracks with what gaming insider NateDrake previously said about South of Midnight's release date, sug🌸gesting he was right about the other games he mentioned.

That means we won't be waiting long 🔥at all to get our hands on South of Midnight, which means that Xbox is going to have quite the stacked🤪 year ahead of it.
