Firaxis Games has shared a first look at gameplay for Marvel's Midnight Suns, and despite some concern from fans, it quickly becomes clear this is a very different beast to XCOM.
Set for release next March on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, the game clearly has a very different approach to being a tactical RPG. In these videos, we get a good taste of the playing card/deck-based combat as well as the way you can forge relationships with your fellow superheroes in the base the Midnight Suns call home (the Abbey).
Honestly, we're now a little more excited for this one, and there's lots to delve into in this footage.
"The world as we know it is changed forever when Hydra, through a procedure of magic and science, manages to revive Lilith, Mother of Demons," reads the synopsis for Midnight Suns. "In an effort to prevent Lilith from spreading her armies across the world, destroying everything in her path, The Avengers enlist the Midnight Suns to assist in their battle. This team of supernaturally powered heroes will need to work with the likes of Captain America, Iron-Man and Captain Marvel if they want to stop Lilith from resurrected Chthon, her all-powerful master."
