Marvel’s Midnight Suns Is a Tactical RPG From The Developers of XCOM With Iron Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Blade

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a tactical RPG from the developers of XCOM, Firaxis Games. The game has been in development for over two years and is set to release on PC this summer. The company has also announced plans to bring the game to consoles later this year.

XCOM developer Firaxis Games was previously reported to be working on a new game featuring some of Marvel’s most famous characters. Those have shown to be correct.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns, a new tactical RPG featuring a roster of famous superheroes from the pages of Marvel Comics and different live-action adaptations, was revealed today at the Gamescom event by 2K and Firaxis. Iron Man, Wolverine, Blade, and Ghost Rider are among them.

The evil organization known as Hydra has resurrected Lilith, Mother of Demons, after millennia of sleep via a twisted combination of magic and technology, according to a narrative synopsis. “Lilith will go to any length to fulfill an old prophesy and summon Chthon, her wicked master.”

“Pulled to the edge, the Avengers urgently seek the aid of the Midnight Suns – Nico Minoru, Blade, Magik, and Ghost Rider — teenage heroes with extraordinary abilities, created to prevent Lilith from fulfilling the prophesy she seeks to complete. They revive an ancient warrior – the Hunter, Lilith’s abandoned offspring and the only known hero who has ever vanquished her.”

For March 20, 2023, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC through Steam and Epic Games Store. On September 1 at 11:30 a.m. PT, the first gameplay footage will be released.

“We’re ecstatic to be working with Firaxis Games, who have a reputation of creating great tactical games as well as a genuine passion for Marvel’s supernatural side,” said Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games’ Vice President of Creative. Marvel’s Midnight Suns allows players to not only live alongside famous heroes, but also to immerse themselves in an all-new, original narrative that delves deep into the Marvel Universe’s terrible shadows. Darkness descends. “Stand up!”
