以開發《午夜之南》(South of Midnight) 聞名的蒙特婁遊戲開發商 Compulsion Games 已正式重返獨立。
Compulsion Games, the Montreal-based developer known for South of Midnight, has officially returned to independence.
2026年8月11日，該工作室完成了管理層收購，正式脫離 Xbox 體系。

此舉發生在微軟(Microsoft)進行重大組織重組之後，該重組導致了多家工作室遭裁撤。

執行長 Guillaume Provost 將此次分離形容為一場「優雅的」告別，並指出團隊決心繼續保持在一起，而非面臨倒閉。
CEO Guillaume Provost described the separation as a "gracious" exit, noting that the team was determined to stay together rather than face closure.

By regaining independence, the studio now holds full ownership of its intellectual property, including Contrast, We Happy Few, and South of Midnight.

Provost 正積極尋求新的合作夥伴與資金，以確保工作室的未來。

儘管不再隸屬於 Xbox Game Studios 旗幟下，團隊仍致力於進行中的專案，並帶著團結與重新聚焦的精神持續前進。
