The social account forMidnight Sunsis also doing a skin code giveaway for the game.Liking or retweeting this postwill net you a code for a new hero being revealed during tomorrow’s event. I can verify it works, though it didn’t give me any hints as to who it’s for in the message.
Marvel’s Midnight Sunswasrevealed last yearas the heavily rumored tactical Marvel game. It’s being developed by Firaxis, the makers of fine strategy titles likeXCOM. It did get delayed out of the early stages of this year andinto late 2022, though.
The story follows the Hunter, a customizable player avatar who has a grudge to settle with Lilith. The story takes a focus on the demonic and supernatural side of Marvel, with demons and corruption at the center. Fitting, then, that current confirmed crewmates include Blade and Ghost Rider alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and Wolverine.
The summer of games
There have been a pretty hefty number of games already confirmed for the Summer Game Fest festivities. The nextCall of Dutywillshow off its campaignduring the show, and the JRPG take on a classic mangaOne Piece Odysseywill be there too.
HoYoverse, also known asGenshin Impactcreators miHoYo, are showing off two games in the show. Both the strategy RPGHonkai: Star Railand action-RPGZenless Zone Zeroare due to make an appearance.
Showrunner Geoff Keighleyrecently saidthat Summer Game Fest will be “primarily focused” on games that have already been announced, so set expectations around that. ButMarvel’s Midnight Sunsis one I’ve been eager to see again. The fall release schedule could use a few more firm dates.
