As you may have already seen from my extensivehands on preview with Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Scarlet Witch is at the centre of this new story from Marvel and XCOM makers Firaxis. Her journey from hero to villain (and maybe hero again?) is one of the core plot points you’ll be exploring as you manoeuvre your team of supes through this turn-based tactics game.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns wasfirst unveiledat Gamescom last August. XCOM and Civilzation studio Firaxis then showed us the first gameplay trailer for ita week later, revealing its card-based battle system and distinct lack of cover options. It’s quite the departure for the XCOM makers, but as you’ll see from my hands on, it makes for a thrilling change of pace.
Originally dated for a March 2022 release, the game was thendelayed to the second half of 2022. Tonight, Marvel’s Midnight Suns' new release date was confirmed as October 7th.
