Following its delay from earlier this year, 2K has announced a new release date for Marvel's Midnight Suns. The tactical RPG from developer Firaxis games will now launch worldwide on October 7, 2022, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The Nintendo Switch version will be available at a later date.
The announcement was accompanied by a brand new cinematic trailer that also revealed two more unlockable playable heroes: Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch. They join an already robust roster of heroes that includes Doctor Strange, Magik, Iron Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Blade, Captain America, Nico Minoru, Captain Marvel, and you, the Hunter. With the latest two characters, we now have 12 of 13 heroes revealed. The final remaining character is still a mystery and will only be unlocked once you beat the game.
The trailer also provides a glimpse of Lilith, the Mother of Demons, own twisted entourage, including Fallen versions of Venom, Sabretooth, Scarlet Witch, and the Hulk.
When the demonic Lilith and her fearsome horde unite with the evil armies of Hydra, it’s time to unleash Marvel’s dark side. As The Hunter, your mission is to lead an unlikely team of seasoned Super Heroes and dangerous supernatural warriors to victory. Can legends such as Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Blade put aside their differences in the face of a growing apocalyptic threat? If you’re going to save the world, you'll have to forge alliances and lead the team into battle as the legendary Midnight Suns - Earth's last line of defense against the underworld.
The Hunter is the first fully customizable original hero in the Marvel universe. As you progress through the game and unlock new skills, you'll be able to build your character the way you see best fit to send Lilith's army back to the underworld.
