With Gamescom in full swing now, game reveals are coming at a rapid pace. The latest announcement comes from 2K and the team behind XCOM and Civilization, Firaxis. Their new game is a tactical RPG that stars Marvel characters, and is titled Marvel's Midnight Suns. A cinematic trailer shows some of the cast you can expect to see, while a full gameplay reveal is scheduled for September 1st. Marvel's Midnight Suns will launch in March 2022, and will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on both Steam and Epic.

Looks like phone game, honestly.

If that was pre-rendered and not in-engine footage, maybe. Odds are it's a slightly upgraded version of the engine they used for XCOM 2, so that should give you a pretty good idea of what gameplay will look like. No phone can handle that.

I for one am super hyped, Marvel finally contracted out a developer to make a modern game well within their wheelhouse.

hmm dunno man, the music was great (even if it was a ok cover, cant go wrong with that one).

Kidding aside, this seems interesting for sure.

I should've been more specific. No phone can handle that at a decent resolution and frame rate.

Mmm, seems like a Marvel IP that I have not seen before, I thought they were talking about "Marvel's Midnight Sons".

I was hoping you could create your own hero the way you wanted but instead you can only choose from 2 sets of powers: light or dark
I'm so disappointed!

I mean, of course they aren't gonna give you a character creator in a Marvel-licensed game. The first thing everybody would do is put Batman in it, lol.

When I've read that, I thought about... you know, actual X-com 2 visual not possible on a phone

Spoiler: X-com 2 in my mind

No phone can handle that

X-com 2 : Terrors from the deep.
Sorry to be old

Gameplay trailer is up:



Definitely the XCOM 2 engine, I'd recognize that stuttering anywhere.

Game looks good overall though, everybody seems to be jumping on the deck-building trend.
