One of Xbox's big releases leading into 2025 is the action-adventure title South of Midnight. While we don't have a solid launch date just yet, it seems the Canadian developer Compulsion Games is slowly sharing more teasers of what exactly you can expect.
The latest sneak peek comes via the company's official social media account - showing off what appears to be a boss-like encounter. Here are the official words and you can see the full video in motion in the post below:
"Two-Toed Tom wasn't always the terrifying giant that the people of Prospero knew and feared. He started out as a tiny little thing, raised by Farmer Swopes, a cruel man who starved his animals for entertainment and profit. But Swopes' cruelty became his own undoing: when Tom was finally freed from his captor, he did everything in his power to ensure he'd never go hungry again."
South of Midnight was originally revealed in June last year and is described as being set in a "magic realist version of American South". Compulsion Games is the developer behind previous releases like Contrast and We Happy Few, and its new release will be a "day one" Game Pass title.
There have been rumours recently about South of Midnight potentially releasing on Xbox Series X|S in the earlier half of 2025.

Very hyped for this game!!
Looks awesome 👍.
Who starves animals for entertainment and profit? How does that even work??
@Ricky-Spanish
Well humans do it humans, so why not animals.
@OldGamer999 Just don't understand how a starving animal is entertaining or how it makes money I don't get it?
So looking forward to this. I feel Xbox needs more quality third person action adventure games, my favourite type of game.
And I believe all at 60fps on series x.
Maybe this will be like Hi-Fi Rush and be surprise dropped in January. Regardless, it looks really cool and unique. I’ll be giving it a try whenever it comes out.
This is one of my most anticipated games.
I want this to be good. This is the one announcement in recent years that has really caught my attention, I just don't know if they tightened up the combat since the last preview. It looked, from previous footage shown, like the worst aspect of the game.
@Ricky-Spanish Judging by your confusion, you're a good guy. Unfortunately there are some people out there who take delight in such awful things. It's a real thing that I'm not going to elaborate on, but humans suck. Real bad.
I was on the fence about this game but the more I see the more I like
I’m really hoping it turns out. It looks pretty neat.
Contrast and we happy few didn’t gel with me no matter how hard I tried.
@Ricky-Spanish I don’t get it either and don’t want to
@Ricky-Spanish I'm guessing it has something to do with making them ferocious in a fight people are gambling on, or something similar?
@Ricky-Spanish well for sport I'm guessing. Considering the state of the world and it's feelings they don't want to come right out and say he was starved and forced to fight ect ect. Also maybe just simply saving money on not buying them food can be classified as profit especially if they are making you money in other areas as well. It is a extremely sad but true animalistic human trait some people have.
