Marvel's Midnight Suns has been given a release date: October 7.
That was announced in a new trailer during the Summer Game Fest Kick Off Live show. In it, it was also revealed that Spider-Man is a playable character.
The game should have been released in March, but was postponed to the second half of this year at the end of last year in order to “make it the best game possible”, according to the developer.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a tactical RPG set in the Marvel universe, where players create their own character, The Hunter, and meet familiar heroes such as Captain America, Blade and Ghost Rider. The concept of the game is based on the Midnight Sons comic series from the 90s, in which supernatural heroes come together.
Midnight Suns is being developed by Firaxis, the studio behind modern Xcom games. Also in Midnight Suns players engage in tactical battles, although there should be more focus on relationships between characters.
The game is now out on October 7 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One. The Switch version should be released next year.
