South of Midnight Set to Launch on PS5 and Switch 2 in Spring 2026

South of Midnight Expands Horizons: PS5 and Switch 2 Versions Confirmed for Spring 2026

During this year’s The Game Awards, the atmospheric adventure South of Midnight took center stage—not only to secure the prestigious Games for Impact award but to drop a major announcement for fans on other platforms. While accepting the trophy, Farah Brixi and Diane Guillemont revealed that the critically acclaimed title is officially slated for release on PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch 2 in the spring of 2026.

Set against a backdrop of Southern Gothic folklore, South of Midnight follows the journey of Hazel, a young woman coming to terms with her supernatural abilities as a “weaver” while searching for her missing mother. The game has earned significant praise for its distinctive art style and innovative sound design; notably, its boss encounters are underscored by lyrical compositions that narrate the lore of the mythical creatures Hazel confronts.

Originally launched as an exclusive for Xbox and PC in April, these upcoming ports represent the title’s first expansion into Sony and Nintendo ecosystems, allowing a broader audience to experience its rhythmic combat and evocative storytelling.

The Game Awards 2025 was packed with major industry updates beyond this announcement. For more highlights from the ceremony, you can explore the latest news regarding the return of Knights of the Old Republic or the official release window for Capcom’s Pragmata.
