Marvel's Midnight Suns will arrive in December, 2022

Unfortunately, Marvel fans didn’t get much in the way of intricate details about the upcoming Midnight Suns title. There was one major bit of news though. The game’s release is set for December 2, 2022, for the PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.

For those playing on last-gen consoles such as PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, the game won’t arrive until 2023.

The card-based tactical title showed off a number of awesome Marvel heroes, including Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Magik, Ghost Rider, Blade, and many more. Perhaps more interesting is that the main character isn’t going to be a particular Marvel Super Hero.

“The Hunter” is the protagonist of Marvel's Midnight Suns and the first customizable hero to appear in a Marvel game. They will lead the team of superheroes in the battle against Lilith, Mother of Demons, who is working with the Elder God C’thon.

Fans got to see some of the attacks in action, as well as the actual gameplay. The showcase displayed some of the cards that players can use in battle, and how it will look upon activation.

Of course, several awesome cut-scene battles were shown off, with the Marvel heroes being at their coolest. The Midnight Suns’ hub was teased, along with a few moments where fans got to see dialog choices.
