Recently revealed by Jeff Grubb on his premium Grubbsnax show, Obsidian's "indie"-style effort is emerging from a small team led by Josh Sawyer, famed for his leadership on what is arguably the best Fallout game New Vegas, as well as a personal fave, Pillars of Eternity.
MICROSOFT COMBAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2 REVIEW FULL
Right now I have no info on the launch timings of Midnight, but you're likely looking at the next couple of years for an official reveal and perhaps even a full launch, although it could come later depending on Compulsion's growth and ambitions for the title. The game is a wholly single-player experience, with what has been described to me as a "strong" story. The game features magic and large fantastical beasts with a strong "southern gothic" vibe. Midnight is described as a "coming of age" tale drawing upon inspirations from America's Deep South. On the left, we can see what appears to be harpy nest-style dwellings built atop a tree. They represent the game's protagonist, alongside warped harpy-like humanoids that appear to descend through various iterations of mutation. Some of the game's early concept artwork can be seen above. Currently codenamed "Midnight," this upcoming title is supposedly a third-person action game set in a dark and fantastical world. Recently, we received some details on Compulsion's first outing as part of Xbox Game Studios. We Happy Few's twisted vision of a fallen Britain proved a truly intriguing concept, and solidified Compulsion as a studio with a lot of potential.

The firm is known primarily for We Happy Few, which despite some gameplay problems, delivered big in the art direction department.

Recently, we were tipped on some new exclusive details for upcoming Xbox games as well.Ĭompulsion joined Microsoft near the start of their content acquisition spree. Internally, we have Project Cobalt from inXile, and we recently detailed Avowed gameplay from Obsidian I'd been lucky enough to see early. Microsoft's publishing arm is working hard on partner titles like Project Dragon from IO Interactive, and Project Belfry from Stoic Studios, among various others.

We know about upcoming Xbox games titles like Halo Infinite, Starfield, State of Decay 3, and Redfall, but we've been offering a sneak peek at some as-of-yet unannounced exclusives too. A steady flow of new subscribers means the firm needs a steady flow of new content, and they're investing more in that area than ever before. Much like Netflix, ensuring Xbox Game Pass has a steady flow of new subscribers is at the top of Microsoft's gaming agenda. Forza Horizon 5 hit 4.5 million players after just 24 hours of general availability, boosted by the value proposition offered by Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft is having a stellar year for gaming, with titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empires IV, and Forza Horizon 5 all breaking franchise records in quick succession.
