The next video game set in the Marvel Universe is one of magic and supernatural threats, as XCOM developer Firaxis is working on a tactical RPG called Midnight Suns. The game was first shown off at Gamescom with a cinematic trailer, and a week later, Firaxis is giving fans an early preview of what they can expect.
While Midnight Suns is focused on using Marvel's most bankable mystical names for more strategic combat, the game doesn't play like a reskinned version of XCOM. Firaxis has instead gone for a Fire Emblem-influenced approach, one where characters can build relationships with Earth's mightiest mortals. For Midnight Suns, you'll be playing as a new Marvel hero named The Hunter, who's central to the story of Lilith and the world-ending threat that the mother of all demons represents.
Combat takes more of a power fantasy approach, as Firaxis said that it wouldn't make sense for a Marvel superhero like Wolverine or Captain Marvel to be on the defensive while worrying about hit-chance percentages.
