During 2022’s Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, we got a new gameplay trailer for Marvel’s Midnight Suns. The trailer ended with the surprise reveal that Midnight Suns is no longer delayed until 2023–it’s now coming out on December 2 of this year for PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PS5. The release date for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game will be shared at a later date, according to 2K.
Midnight Suns sees the Avengers teaming up with their more supernatural peers–like Ghost Rider, Blade, and Magik–in order to take on Lilith, Mother of Demons, who has been awakened from her eternal sleep by Hydra. The superhero team will also align themselves with Lilith’s daughter, the Hunter.
Following the new gameplay trailer, the showcase also revealed that a collection of animated shorts will be released ahead of Midnight Suns’ launch. These shorts will detail the stories of the 13 heroes you’ll be able to play as prior to their team-up in Midnight Suns. The first of these shorts will debut on October 31.
“In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, we knew we had a really cool opportunity to dive deep into the dark side of Marvel and introduce some supernatural heroes that may be new to many Marvel fans,” Firaxis Games creative director Jake Solomon said. “Prequel Shorts sheds light on the events leading up the game and really brings the world of Marvel’s Midnight Suns to life.”
Midnight Suns is scheduled to launch for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC.
