South of Midnight

The first Xbox showcase in 2025 — Developer_Direct — was dedicated to only four games, but what games they are! Ninja Gaiden 4, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and South of Midnight — all of these are highly anticipated new releases and potential hits. You can read about the new DOOM and Ninja Gaiden somewhere nearby. In this article, we will tell you what interesting details the developers shared about the French jRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the very specific South of Midnight.

The departing year 2024 was incredibly rich in game releases. We finally got the buggy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, enjoyed the charming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and laughed through tears at Dragon Age: The Veilguard. But what does the industry have in store for 2025? We decided to prepare a series of top lists of the most anticipated projects for the upcoming year. This one will be about hits for PC and Xbox. It's obvious that most new releases come out on consoles after personal computers and vice versa, so don't be surprised to find multiplatform titles on the list. However, these projects are theoretically expected to provide the most complete experience specifically on the two platforms mentioned above.
