Rumors about various unannounced Xbox Game Studios’ titles have been thick on the ground recently, with details about codenamed games such as Project Shaolin (a Wu-Tang Clan RPG), Project Indus (a 4X strategy title from Oxide Games), Project Cobalt (a Steampunk RPG from InXile), Project Dragon (an RPG from IO Interactive), Pax Dei (a cloud-based MMO from Mainframe Industries), and Project Missouri (a Disco-Elysium-style RPG from Obsidian’s Josh Saywer) being leaked in recent weeks and months. Now we have potential information on yet another project.

Windows Central’s usually-reliable Jez Corden has new details on the next project from Montreal-based We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games, which is currently codenamed Project Midnight. Apparently, Compulsion is leaving the swinging 60s behind in favor of a dark “southern gothic” adventure with unique fantasy elements. The game is said to be a more traditional single-player third-person action-adventure that tells a coming-of-age story set in American south. Windows Central has seemingly acquired some early concept art for Project Midnight, which does boast a rather different style than past Compulsion titles (click the image for full resolution).
