Marvel’s Midnight Suns releases on October 7 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, though you’ll have to wait a while to play it on the Nintendo Switch.
Publisher 2K confirms in a press release that the Switch version of the upcoming tactical RPG will “be available at a later date”, though it doesn’t offer much beyond that.
Elsewhere in the trailer, we see Venom joining up with other villains to wreak havoc on a city. That’s a pretty neat way to introduce Spider-Man, who is joining the roster of playable characters. While we don’t get much regarding gameplay, we see a sleek new look for the web slinger alongside demonic versions of Venom, Sabretooth, Scarlet Witch, and Hulk. Scarlet Witch also stands among the heroes under a title card, suggesting that she’ll be part of the playable roster. It matches up with recent leaks, so it makes sense.
We have given this one a go for ourselves, coming away reasonably impressed. So far, the superhero take on XCOM looks like a good Marvel strategy game hiding a slick RPG. Speaking to GamesRadar+, Firaxis also explains how the XCOM team sold Marvel on a strategy card game shaped by Persona, Fire Emblem, and more. Essentially, the power of anime and JRPGs are not to be underestimated.
