Midnight Suns

While most major adaptations of the comic book vigilantes tend to be third-person action adventures, developer Firaxis is taking a fresh view. As you can see in ...

You play as a new hero, The Hunter, and you will be able to build relationships with whichever characters you like by spending time with them. There's no cover — although plenty of environmental objects to take advantage of — and you can't move every character in a turn, while all attacks will always land — no percentages here. The studio is known for the most recent XCOM games, but this is looking to be a departure from that formula too.

Based on the similarly named “Midnight Sons” team of the same name from the comics series.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the upcoming tactical RPG set in the Marvel universe. What powers are you looking forward to giving your incarnation of The Hunter? Any characters you hope to see?

S, and PC. It will also come to the Nintendo Switch at a later date, though we don't know when this is. Presumably, you can bring them over to your side in the campaign, or there will be choices about who becomes corrupted during the story, but we won't know until closer to release. - Venom Before long, it cuts into a flight sequence in the middle of NYC, as tonnes of heroes fight off demons and then reveals the big bad of the game, Lilith, Mother of Demons. Finally, it ends with a scene of the default main characters (you can customise them) and a bunch of heroes walking toward the camera before cutting to the title. It was initially set for a March 2022 release date after its announcement during Gamescom 2021, but later in November, Firaxis decided to delay it to the second half of 2022. The Marvel heroes we all know and love have been forcing themselves into gaming more and more over the recent years, as Disney has made a push to give a variety of different studios license to use their heroes across different genres.

Your ears aren't deceiving you: that's Insomniac's Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal playing the webhead in Marvel's Midnight Suns.

"But while Midnight Suns is a little out of the wheelhouse for Firaxis, it was also fun to play." "Marvel's Midnight Suns was surprising in that, while it looks a bit like the XCOM games, it tends to feel drastically different from them. This version of Spider-Man is completely different to Insomniac's version though, as the only similarities that these two incarnations share is the same voice actor, powers, and a wardrobe full of alternate costumes.

It's shaping up to be an action-packed adventure with a combination of strategic combat and over-world RPG elements. And, it's spent long enough in the oven ...

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is “still easily as complex as any match of XCOM”, according to Solomon, and that has to be thanks to the game’s card system. This system will give players a limited selection of superheroic abilities in each combat scenario and is at the core of the game’s puzzle-like combat situations. And again, this fits the fantasy, but the idea is, Iron Man is Iron Man from the beginning. It just felt terrible.” The ‘randomness’ of abilities and attacks is a core mechanic in XCOM’s combat system, understandably something you would try to implement into an XCOM-like game if you’re the development team behind the XCOM franchise. Originally, Firaxis Games approached the development of making Marvel’s Midnight Suns with a plan to make XCOM with superheroes. For Solomon, developing Marvel’s Midnight Suns was “one of those things where…

Marvel fans watching Summer Game Fest might have thought they heard a familiar voice during one of the trailers.

Maybe the "Marvel's Midnight Suns" Wolverine actor will win themselves a role in PlayStation's " Marvel's Wolverine" game with their performance. While Solomon didn't reveal much about the background of the "Midnight Suns" version of Spider-Man, this isn't Lowenthal's first rodeo in an alternate Spider-Man universe. Of course, having the same voice actor voice Spider-Man in both games might leave some questions about which universe "Marvel's Midnight Suns" takes place in, but the game's developers were quick to clarify that their Spider-Man is not the same one as PlayStation's and Insomniac's. Speaking with VGC, Firaxis creative director Jake Solomon clarified, "It's not meant to be that Spidey, but we heard that Spidey and said 'that sounds like Peter Parker to me,' but it's not the exact same character."

The trailer for the new Marvel game Midnight Suns is here, teasing a showdown between superheroes with Lillith, Mother of Demons.

You can currently preorder the game, which will be released worldwide on October 7, 2022. The standard version will only be on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The enhanced edition, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, will have console optimizations and five premium cosmetic skins. However, Lowenthal will not be voicing that version of the hero.

Spider-Man joins The Hunter and their allies against Lilith's army of darkness, including Venom, Hulk, Sabretooth, and Scarlet Witch.

- The Enhanced Edition will be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X Marvel's Midnight Suns puts you in the role of a new, customizable superhero called The Hunter as you assemble a group of heroes, including Blade, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider, to battle Lilith and her Hydra allies. The news was announced as part of 2022's Summer Games Fest and coincided with a brand-new trailer (seen above), which reveals that the ol' Web-Head himself, Spider-Man, will be a playable character.
