Marvel’s Midnight Suns - 'Darkness Falls' Trailer, New Images & Official Release Date

Reminds me a bit of Fire Emblem with a hub world and developing friendships

If the game doesnt have Master of Puppets actually in it, Im gonna be super pissed

IGN posted these two videos that explain the games and what it's all about with gameplay fotage...

It's a turn-based tatical RPG with a card-based combat mechanic. The multiple gameplay videos I've seen show off a ton of customization and it looks like it'll be a lot of fun to explore combos and strategies between different heroes. They did say you spend a lot of the time in The Abbey interacting with characters as part of the friendship mechanic. I'm excited and definitely trust the makers of XCOM 2, but I understand the apprehension of people who don't play those type of games.

Didnt they announce this was some sort of virtual card based game? I mean , nothing in this trailer supports that. Id be annoyed AF thinking I was buying a action game to find out Im actually investing in a deck builder

Well the trailer doesn't just much gameplay footage but he accompanying images clearly show the cards

I would imagine that Morbius would be the obvious choice, not only because he fits and is part of midnight sons but because of the movie and the meme/cult following it got. It's so bizarre to see Carol, Tony, and Steve here but not other mystic characters of Marvel,

I don't know what Midnight Sons you remember but not only was Strange heavily involved in them, he also gathered them and lead the team.

It was an attempt at understatement.

Guardians can get away with not having them because it's not happening on Earth and the Guardians are now very well-known on their own thanks to the movies.

I was actually thinking of the original GotG movie, before it was a franchise success. They took a chance and didn't try to throw a bunch of stars into it.

Uh...I'm pretty sure Dr. Strange is in the game.

Cap, Spidey, Wolverine and Iron Man are Marvel's staples and probably the most common "guest stars" in that universe (particularly Spider-Man and Wolverine). Guardians can get away with not having them because it's not happening on Earth and the Guardians are now very well-known on their own thanks to the movies.

I do agree that they could probably have limited it to like...Spidey and Wolverine, or maybe brought in Thor instead of Iron Man (though I bet he shows up in some capacity).

Though I'd note this also isn't a sequel or "follow up" to the Square/Enix Avengers game (which sucked for reasons that had nothing to do with character selection), it's an entirely different kind of game from a different studio.
