About Marvel’s Midnight Suns
2K and Marvel Entertainment announced today that Marvel’s Midnight Suns would be released on October 7, 2022. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is an all-new tactical RPG set in the darker side of the Marvel Universe, developed by Firaxis Games, the iconic company behind the highly acclaimed, world-renowned Civilization and XCOM games. It will be available through Steam and Epic Games Store for PlayStation®5 (PS4TM), PlayStation®4 (PS4TM), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. The game’s Nintendo Switch version will be released at a later date. Marvel’s Midnight Suns, rated 12 by PEGI, is now available for pre-order.
When the demonic Lilith and her terrifying horde join forces with Hydra’s terrible troops, it’s time to unleash Marvel’s dark side. Your job as The Hunter is to lead an odd group of seasoned Super Heroes and terrifying otherworldly warriors to victory. Can Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Blade put their differences aside in the face of a looming catastrophic threat? If you want to preserve the planet, you’ll need to form alliances and command the renowned Midnight Suns — Earth’s final line of defense against the underworld.
You will select how to send Lilith’s army back to the underworld using an assortment of upgradeable characters and talents that enable you to create your own unique version of The Hunter.
“We’re excited to welcome gamers inside Marvel’s darker, otherworldly side,” stated Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games’ Vice President and Creative Director. “Our pals at Firaxis and 2K have produced a wonderfully unique and absolutely genuine Marvel experience that fans can get into this October in Marvel’s Midnight Suns!”
As part of the announcement, 2K released an exciting new cinematic teaser at Summer Games Fest 2022, which featured the Midnight Suns fighting Lilith’s army alongside two newly revealed and unlocked playable heroes – including Spider-Man! But, just as the heroes get together to fight Lilith, the Mother of Demons gathers her own twisted entourage, including corrupted Fallen versions of Venom, Sabretooth, Scarlet Witch, and the Hulk!
“We know fans have been looking forward to seeing what’s next for Marvel’s Midnight Suns,” said Jake Solomon, Creative Director at Firaxis Games. “We’re delighted to have the chance to introduce so many new Marvel characters and villains to fans, and we can’t wait for tactics gamers to enjoy the thrills of battling like a Super Hero in Marvel’s Midnight Suns!”
