Marvel’s Midnight Suns has been delayed until late 2022.
“On behalf of Firaxis Games, thank you for sharing just how excited you are for Marvel’s Midnight Suns,” creative director Jake Solomon and senior franchise producer Garth DeAngelis shared in a joint statement. “We’ve been thrilled to see your reaction to everything from our announcement of the game to the reveal of our card-based tactical combat. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a true dream project for the team and we can’t express what an honor it is to create something new in the Marvel Universe.
“We decided to share that we’ve made the very tough decision to move our launch window to the second half of 2022. 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 believe 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.”
Midnight Suns is a tactical role-playing game that combines various Marvel characters and teams, such as the Midnight Sons, the X-Men, the Avengers and even the Runaways. The game was announced in August 2021 after months of rumors, but some of those rumors suggested Midnight Suns wouldn’t actually include any Marvel characters.
“Somebody sent that [rumor] to me. Those people have never met me I guess,” Solomon said in September. “No way. If I’m working with Marvel, the idea of not using the Marvel heroes would make no sense to me. The Hunter is there to allow the player to put themselves into this awesome Marvel story. That was all from the beginning, the idea of we’d love for the player to be able to put themselves into this game. But that’s a very long process. You don’t just say, ‘We’re going to create a new Marvel superhero.’ It’s a very long, involved process, as it should be. So we worked with Marvel for a long time on who The Hunter was and what role they filled.”
Developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games, Marvel’s Midnight Suns arrives on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2022.
