Firaxis Games, the developer behind the XCOM and Civilization series, is working on a turn-based tactics game called Marvel's Midnight Suns, which will be released in March 2022. As the name indicates, and as shown during the Gamescom Opening Night Live trailer, Midnight Suns explores the supernatural corner of the Marvel comics universe and features a mixture of well-known heroes and deeper pulls.
In the trailer, a voiceover notes that, while the heroes have successfully conquered great evils and vanquished threats from beyond the stars, a new nightmare has awoken. Although the game is heavily influenced by the '90s Marvel Comics event Rise of the Midnight Sons, the story isn't a retelling and, in fact, pulls in a variety of characters not seen in the original event.
The villain of the story is Lilith, who has awoken and commands an army of demons. "Through a twisted marriage of magic and science, the nefarious force known as Hydra has revived Lilith, Mother of Demons, after centuries of slumber," reads a press release. "Lilith will stop at nothing to complete an ancient prophecy and summon her evil master, Chthon. Pushed to the brink, the Avengers desperately look to fight fire with Hellfire by enlisting the help of the Midnight Suns … Young heroes with powers deeply rooted in the supernatural, formed to prevent the very prophecy Lilith aims to fulfill."
