Firaxis Games is probably best known for their Civilization titles, but they’re going a more action-oriented route with the upcoming Marvel’s Midnight Suns. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten an update on the game, but the new trailer has revealed that more Marvel characters are expected to appear in the game including Venom, Spider-Man and the Hulk.
Watch this:
While we do get a lot of new characters announced for the game, some faces from the original announcement don’t make an appearance like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Captain America.
We don’t have a full story breakdown of the game yet, but the teaser does come with the tagline: Hell’s army just got stronger. We’re gonna need some backup. We already had a look at Lilith, Mother of All Demons before, but now we can see that she’s found Sabertooth, Hulk, Venom, and even Scarlet Witch as her minions.
While the trailers do look very action heavy (complete with heavy metal music), Midnight Suns is actually a strategy game, which will have you taking command of a squad of heroes and mixing and matching their powers to take on a wave of enemies. Here’s some gameplay against boss Venom:
Strategy games may not be for everyone, but with a wealth of these Marvel characters, maybe Midnight Suns could be a good jumping off point into the genre.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is set to come out on Oct. 7 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
