With Marvel's Midnight Suns approaching its new release date of 2nd December, developer Firaxis is continuing to highlight a few of its superhero characters. Next in line is Magik, a mutant from the X-Men universe who is capable of opening up portals in time and space. While not as well known as Iron Man or Spider-Man, her abilities may make her a popular choice in the turn-based strategy game.
Her moveset revolves around her portal-producing powers. You can lay down the entry and exit portals pretty much anywhere on the field, and then send a bad guy hurtling through. This opens up some fun possibilities, like launching enemies into explosive objects, or into other baddies. Another of Magik's moves allows her to draw in foes together, which will be a great set-up for other heroes' area-of-effect attacks.
It seems like she'll be a great support role on the team, though it appears she can hold her own as well. Watch the video for more information. Are you excited to have Magik on your side in Marvel's Midnight Suns? Tell us in the comments section below.

I seem to be one of the only people on this site looking forward to this game, there have to be others, right?
That's pretty cool. I really hope this game is good
@theheadofabroom I'm excited for it, I love tactical games.
May as well put a student from Kamar-Taj in the game. They learn portals on day 1.
@LiamCroft Phew, I'm just so used to seeing only negative comments on articles about it. My only regret is that it's not XCom 3 (yet), although I'm thinking this is that Chimera Squad was based on a tech demo for (really enjoyed it, but much less replay value than the mainline games)
@theheadofabroom I wish chimera squad had come to PlayStation,
@theheadofabroom same here. Just not day 1
Where's Lockheed? 😥
@theheadofabroom you’re not alone, I’m really looking forward to this one. This is also the character showcase I’ve been most excited about!
didnt realise it was turn based, another one to xmas sales list
@riceNpea Ah, but do they get to take in the sights of Limbo every time they teleport?
I know I’m spoiled getting Magik in a console game, but it kind of makes me want a Claremont era based New Mutants game.
@Amnesiac they could take a little detour through the Dark Dimension 😁
I want to like this but the card aspect of it is just not clicking with me, but at the same time I'm glad its not just a hack n slash, and someone it attempting to do something different with marvel.
I'm still undecided on buying this game...def won't be a year one purchase at least.
Maybe next year's Black Friday (2023) if there's a decent sale? Depends on how big my backlog has grown by then.
