This GFN Thursday, GeForce NOW members are in for a real treat, diving headfirst into the atmospheric world of South of Midnight, the brand-new action-adventure game from Compulsion Games. Following its Advanced Access debut in the cloud last week, the full experience is now available, leading a wave of seven new titles ready to be streamed! Plus, get ready for fresh drops in fan-favourites Fortnite and Honkai: Star Rail, just in time for the latter’s second-anniversary celebrations!
Weaving Wonders in the Deep South
South of Midnight casts players as Hazel, a resourceful young woman navigating a Gothic fantasy version of the American Deep South in search of her missing mother. As a Weaver, Hazel possesses unique magical abilities to mend broken bonds and spirits. Her journey will lead her through surreal landscapes, encounters with mythical creatures inspired by Southern folklore, and the unearthing of long-held family secrets.
The gameplay in South of Midnight masterfully blends action-adventure with strategic elements. Players will utilize Hazel’s Weaver powers, such as Push, Pull, and Weave, to engage in combat against formidable foes known as Haints, navigate challenging environments, and solve intricate puzzles.
Fortnite’s Carpenter Concert
Global sensation and two-time GRAMMY winner Sabrina Carpenter is taking center stage in Fortnite Festival Season eight, bringing her unique pop flair to the game. Players can unlock her outfit, along with her catchy Jam Tracks Juno and Nonsense, through the Music Pass or the Item Shop. The Music Pass offers a mix of free and premium rewards for 1,400 V-Bucks or is included with Fortnite Crew, with XP earned across all Fortnite modes!
