Midnight Suns Drops a Fresh Marvel Card Game at Summer Game Fest
During the Summer Game Fest 2022 livestream this morning, Firaxis Games (the folks behind XCOM) shipped a brand‑new trailer for their upcoming card‑based title Marvel’s Midnight Suns. The hype isn’t just in the visuals—the official release date just got nudged forward to October 7!
What’s the New Card Game About?
- Players take command of a shadowy protagonist called the Hunter while also wielding a rotating roster of Marvel superheroes.
- The story pits everyone against the demoness Lilith, a villain who’s got her eye on world domination.
- Be ready to see a lineup that currently boasts Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Blade, Iron Man, and, as of last night, Spider‑Man in an ultra‑cool “Midnight Suns” suit.
Can the Villains Catch Up?
It’s a card game in a “hero vs. villain” loop, so you’ll discover that Lilith isn’t alone in her evil plans. The trailer teases her ability to corrupt Marvel heroes into dark, fallen versions of themselves. Think Venom turning villain‑ish, or a portal showing twisted Sabretooth, Hulk, and Scarlet Witch.
Catch the Trailer Below
So, grab your deck, pick your sagas, and get ready to battle Lilith next month. The anticipation is real, and the card game community is buzzing louder than a Hulk smash!
