Details about Marvel's Midnight Suns
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a new Tactical Role-Playing Game developed by Firaxis Games and set in the Marvel universe. Lilith, the Mother of all Demons, has begun threatening the world so it's up to the Avengers and other Marvel characters to band together to create a team known as the Midnight Suns. Well-known characters like Iron Man and Wolverine will be joined by characters such as Magik and Nico Monoru, which haven't gotten quite as much time in the spotlight.
The game will have 12 playable Marvel characters with the inclusion of The Hunter, the daughter of Lilith and is said to be the only one that can stop her. The Hunter is a customizable superhero that the player will be able to specialize through 40 different abilities. Gameplay will be split between turn-based tactical gameplay and third person exploration segments where you'll be able to interact with other characters and level up The Hunter. The game is loosely based around the 90s comic series titles Rise of the Midnight Sons which saw a similar lineup of heroes fighting against Lilith.
