Flying just below the radar this week is the impending arrival of Marvel's Midnight Suns. Developed by XCOM studio Firaxis, this game combines its turn-based strategy chops with beloved comic book heroes, and it's looked fairly promising since its announcement. After a couple of delays, the title is very nearly here, and so it's launch trailer time.
It'll get you in the mood with a cinematic story setup, in which Doctor Strange loses his base of operations, Sanctum Sanctorum. Lilith, a demonic sorceress, has been brought back and is brainwashing heroes and villains to fend off the remaining opposition. The only hope is to resurrect the Hunter, Lilith's child, who previously put an end to her evil.
It's a fun trailer that sets the scene pretty well, albeit with some pretty hammy line delivery. There's no real gameplay as such, but to be fair, we've seen quite a lot of that across character-specific videos, such as Ghost Rider, Captain America, and Iron Man.

Cool trailer but the card battle aspect, tone of dialogue and dating aspect seems super off. Enough to turn me away.
One of my most anticipated games in a long while! It's mainly just blind confidence in Fireaxis + Marvel license that has me rooted for this game. Let's hope my trust in them is justified. ๐
@ThaBEN Exactly the same here Put in my pre-order about two months ago, which is very rare for me (buying full price at launch is also rare for me).
Got this and Callisto preordered and pre installed canโt wait till midnight Thursday.
Like the Metallica trailer music!
Marvel midnight suns is coming the same day as the callisto protocol.๐ค.yeah im going with that instant classic horror game.but this game looks ok.word up son
bound to be in xmas sale, so ill wait a few weeks. let them patch it
@stvevan I'll be waiting a year or two myself, need that $20 price range before I'll consider buying.
I'm looking forward to picking this up, but not day 1 like XCom 3 would be, especially at I still have to play GoW:R (although I finally have a moving date and it's next week)
