An official description of the game has since been shared, and it tantalisingly teases it like so: \u201cConfront the darker side of the Marvel Universe and live among its legends in an all-new tactical RPG\u201d.<\/p>\n
Wolverine, Iron Man, Blade and Ghost Rider are among the confirmed heroes, and we also know that players will be able to customise and control a brand new superhero called the Hunter.<\/p>\n
But what else do we know about Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns, and how soon will we be able to play it? Keep on reading and we\u2019ll run through all the essential details in a handy guide to the game.<\/p>\n
Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns release date<\/h2>\n
The Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns release date is scheduled for March 2022<\/strong>, which is sure to come around quickly. Barring any delays, then, you should be able to jump into the game in the third month of next year. A precise date has not been confirmed yet, but we\u2019ll be sure to update this page when it is.<\/p>\n Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns will be available on PS4, PS5<\/a>, Xbox One, Xbox Series X<\/a>\/S, Nintendo Switch<\/a> and PC, with Steam and the Epic Games Store sharing the PC release. Most gamers should be able to jump into the game at launch, then, unless they don\u2019t have a modern-day machine.<\/p> Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns gameplay footage will be revealed for the first time with a live-stream event on 1st September 2021, which you should be able to watch on 2K\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Until then, we\u2019ve been told that this is a \u201ctactics game\u201d with \u201ccinematic tactical combat\u201d, which shouldn\u2019t come as a huge surprise, considering that Firaxis Games is known for working on the XCOM and Civilisation franchises. It will also have RPG elements, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see what the minute to minute gameplay actually entails.<\/p>\n Game Director Jake Solomon has further teased the gameplay, offering this statement in 2K\u2019s announcement: \u201cTo be entrusted with these characters and their stories is an honor for me and the team. If you\u2019re a Marvel fan, or an RPG fan, or a fan of tactics games, Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns will make these beloved characters come alive in a way that you\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n The press release from 2K promises that next week\u2019s video will reveal \u201ca new engaging and deeply customisable tactical battle system where players assemble their team of heroes, assess the battlefield, and launch devastating iconic attacks against the forces of darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t look like you can pre-order Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns just yet, but we\u2019ll let you know the relevant product pages go live. In the meantime, on the game\u2019s official website<\/a> you can sign up to receive news via email \u2013 if you do so, you\u2019ll be treated to an exclusive Blade Nightstalker Skin to use in the game.<\/p>\n The first official synopsis for Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns reads like so, giving us plenty of story details: \u201cThrough a twisted marriage of magic and science, the nefarious force known as Hydra has revived Lilith, Mother of Demons, after centuries of slumber. Lilith will stop at nothing to complete an ancient prophecy and summon her evil master, Chthon.<\/p>\n \u201cPushed to the brink, the Avengers desperately look to fight fire with Hellfire by enlisting the help of the Midnight Suns \u2013 Nico Minoru, Blade, Magik, and Ghost Rider \u2013 young heroes with powers deeply rooted in the supernatural, formed to prevent the very prophecy Lilith aims to fulfil.<\/p>\n \u201cTogether, they resurrect an ancient warrior \u2013 the Hunter, Lilith\u2019s forsaken child and the only hero known to have ever defeated her.\u201d Sounds pretty exciting, right?<\/p>\n We\u2019re told in the press bumf that Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns \u201cwill feature an iconic collection of heroes spanning The Avengers, X-Men, Runaways, and more\u201d. The first trailer includes Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider (the Robbie Reyes version), Blade, Magik, Nico Minoru, Wolverine and a new hero called the Hunter.<\/p>\n The Hunter is the daughter of the main villain, Lilith, and she\u2019s been described as \u201cthe first customisable original hero in the Marvel Universe.\u201d It sounds like the Hunter will be the main playable character, but you\u2019ll likely get to control your whole squad of heroes during battle scenarios.<\/p>\n The first trailer for Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns has been doing the rounds online, and you can check it out below. The two-and-a-half-minute promo video shows Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes teaming up Ghost Rider and his darkness-embracing pals to help resurrect the Hunter.
