Midnight Suns Release Date

Marvel's Midnight Suns Release Date

When Marvel’s Midnight Suns was first announced in summer of 2021, it was exciting because Firaxis, the team behind the critically acclaimed Xcom series, was bringing their spin on tactics to the Marvel universe. Even better was that the wait wouldn’t be long and the release date was March 2022.

Unfortunately, Midnight Suns was delayed until October 7 and even more unfortunate was that when in August, Midnight Suns was delayed for a second time and this time the date looked to be indefinite with before the end of Take Two’s fiscal year end, which is March 31, 2023 as it was announced at the company’s earnings report. The other bit of bad news was that the game was only going to release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC initially with other older consoles along with Switch coming at a later date.

It seemed certain that Midnight Suns was going to be released in 2023 but just recently at Disney’s D23, it was announced that Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be releasing on December 2nd for the initial platforms.

On top of being developed by one of the best strategy studios around, Marvels Midnight Suns features a roster of superheroes unrivalled in video games from the Avengers to the X-Men and many others. Still not convinced? Marvel’s Midnight Suns has you play as the Hunter, a fully customizable and original superhero. This is a pretty big step for Marvel and their very protected IP to allow something like this.

When you add up the plot line, the amount of characters, the original superhero that will likely make your experience feel unique to you, and that this is being developed by Firaxis, it’s hard to see this game not being a massive critical success upon release. The big question is will commercial success follow, due to the card based system, as that seems to be gamer repellent.
