The hotly anticipated Marvel's Midnight Suns has finally received a release date, as the developer Firaxis Games and publisher 2K has announced during the Disney & Marvel Showcase that the game will launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on December 2. However, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of the turn-based RPG have still not received a firm release date.
Earlier this year, Marvel's Midnight Suns had its release date pushed back indefinitely. Having been delayed to an unknown date, Marvel's Midnight Suns was dropped from the list of scheduled games for 2022. But it looks like fans won't need to wait until next year, as Firaxis has confirmed the game will launch by the end of the year.
The announcement came as part of the 'Live Among Legends' gameplay trailer in which The Hunter leads her superhero team full of Marvel characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Spider-Man. The short gameplay footage showcases a variety of skill cards specially designed for heroes. As hinted in the trailer, the cast of playable characters will occasionally engage in combat with one another as the plot develops. Last but not least, Firaxis put an emphasis on player choices, which are expected to be an important factor over the course of the story.
Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Marvel's Midnight Suns are now available on the 2K Store. At a later date, users on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be able to pre-order the game. Marvel's Midnight Suns will be made available in three different editions. The Legendary Edition, which includes the Doctor Strange Defender skin, legendary premium pack, and the season pass, will cost $99.99, while the Digital Plus Edition will be listed at $79.99. Players can also opt for the Enhanced Edition, featuring five premium skins, for $69.99.
Marvel's Midnight Suns Prequel Shorts, which will debut weekly basis starting on Halloween, October 31, has also been announced by publisher 2K. Marvel's Midnight Suns Prequel Shorts will focus on the character's backgrounds, particularly the antagonist Lilith. In the short animated series, we'll undoubtedly learn more about Ghost Rider, Blade, Magik, and the other would-be superheroes. Marvel's Midnight Suns will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on December 2.
