20 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2025

7. South of Midnight

Grand Theft Auto VI Lucia
Compulsion Games

The latest offering from We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games looks like a serious step up for them - a gorgeous action-adventure romp set in an alt-reality version of the American Deep South.

Players take control of protagonist Hazel, a "Weaver" who uses her newfound magical abilities to explore a mysterious lush world and battle creatures, all while seeking out a new home to call her own.

With a narrative that's richly immersed in Southern folklore, a peppy jazz and blues soundtrack, and a cutscene style intended to emulate stop-motion - think Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - South of Midnight has a distinct flavour that should help it stand out among the glut of AAA cinematic adventure games.

South of Midnight releases sometime in 2025.
