Firaxis has announced that their upcoming tactical role-playing game Marvel's Midnight Suns has been delayed. Originally revealed with a launch window for spring 2022, the developer acknowledged they need more time to deliver on their vision and "make this the best game possible."
"We decided to share that we've made the very tough decision to move our launch window to the second half of 2022," Firaxis' Jake Solomon, creative director, and Garth DeAngelis, Senior Franchise Producer, said in a joint statement. "We know many fans were looking forward to playing the game originally next spring, and this decision did not come lightly. We decided to push our launch because we need more time to make this the best game possible. We belive in our creative vision for Marvel's Midnight Suns and want to do justice in delivering an unforgettable adventure set in the supernatural side of Marvel. These extra months will be used to add more story, cinematics and overall polish and will be essential in helping us make our vision a reality."
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactical RPG that explores Marvel's darker, supernatural side. In the game, you play as the Hunter, a completely customizable Marvel hero that you can mold to fit your playstyle. But there is more to the Hunter's backstory.
With Hydra having revived Lilith, Mother of Demons, the Avengers enlist the help of the Midnight Suns to prevent total destruction. Together, they resurrect the Hunter, Lilith's forsaken child and the only hero known to have ever defeated her.
Marvel's Midnight Suns features gameplay inspired by the XCOM series but blends a mixture of card-based tactics within the combat. The game is set to release on PlayStation and Xbox consoles as well as PC.
