Turn-based cinematic card battles key to the experience
Marvel’s just given us our first look at the gameplay for its upcoming Midnight Suns project with Firaxis/2K. The game, developed by the famed XCOM team, will utilize turn-based gameplay reliant on ability “cards” that players will have to choose from. Much like XCom, players will be able to move around a level to set up positions, then take on enemies based on their vantage points and environment. The fights will play out in cinematic style, meaning that it’s not just a claw slice from Wolverine but a full sequence happily reminiscent of what you’d find in a cartoon or MCU movie.
Apart from the battles themselves, players will be able to traverse a hub base that lets them adjust abilities, select missions, and earn artifacts. These will unlock even more of the game’s worlds, and add levels of collectability because it’s a video game so why not.
Marvel Midnight Suns brings the dark Marvel world to consoles and PC in March 2022.
