Marvel Midnight Suns debuts on December 2

Marvel Midnight Suns is coming from Firaxis and Disney on December 2. That’s a surprise as the new strategy game was previously delayed after a planned launch on October 7.

In the game, Lilith is the main villain. The game is coming on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, with a Switch edition coming later.

If we’re really thinking about it, this game was supposed to come in March. Then October. Now December 2. Mark it on your calendar.

The gameplay revealed so far seems similar to XCOM, where players control heroes and move them to special locations to try and defeat different enemies by using tactical RPG tactics and strategy. In Midnight Suns, it’s all about strategies in using a superhero’s abilities. The in-between gameplay was also revealed including some dialogue trees and what will happen in the game between missions.

It was also announced that an animated series of shorts will be released as a prequel to the game this Halloween. These videos will serve as shorts that introduce the cast, including fan favorites from the MCU and overall Marvel properties. In the trailer, we see some animated combat moves of Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Blade, Ghost Rider, Nico, Magik, Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, and The Hunter.
