South of Midnight is one of the most intriguing and unique titles Xbox is releasing this year. We were able to preview it (link below), and we can't wait to play on April 8th. Thankfully, we're almost there, and the game has officially gone gold ahead of release. Compulsion Games has also dropped the soundtrack for your listening pleasure; hopefully it will help tide you over until launch.

Today, in addition to South of Midnight hitting the ‘Gone Gold’ development completion milestone and certified for release on April 8, Xbox and Compulsion Games announced South of Midnight’s original soundtrack by composer Olivier Deriviere is now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Bandcamp.

With how integral music is to South of Midnight, it only makes sense to release the game’s original soundtrack which spans three playlists and represents Deriviere’s largest production to date. Like the game itself, South of Midnight’s original soundtrack is inspired by a range of music genres and styles from the American Deep South, including blues, country, and jazz.
