After a slow start to this console generation, Xbox is looking to make its mark starting in 2025.
Major entries in franchises like Gears of War, Doom, and Fable are on the way, alongside an ambitious Perfect Dark revival. The most intriguing game in its lineup, though, isn’t a glitzy game from a pre-existing franchise; it’s something entirely new.
Weaving Hazel's Journey - A South of Midnight Documentary Creating the deep South South of Midnight tells the story of Hazel, a Black track and field star living in the South who discovers she has magical powers. After a hurricane rages through her community, she sets out on a quest to heal different biomes inspired by areas from New Orleans to Appalachia.
“We’ve actually made a music system where when the player inputs a traversal ability, they’ll actually sing along to the backing track,” Fox says. “It works with MIDI and samples, and that’ll change depending on what backing music is playing at the time and what song is playing. So you’ll feel a musical expression and that comes back to the action equals musicality idea. It gives you a feeling that you’re playing music while playing the game.
Fighting and weaving For its gameplay, South of Midnight isn’t breaking new ground — and that’s by design. The team’s focus was on creating a smooth action-adventure title whose mechanics flow from its story. The setting was the first element the team settled on during development and design decisions were informed by that choice.
That idea, like many others, is thematically motivated. This is a game about healing. While some creatures are evil spirits to be fought, others are humans so haunted by trauma that they’ve been warped into monsters. Hazel’s story is about finding out why they transformed and using empathy to restore them.
