Marvel Success Flop

We have long expressed the view that tactical card roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns might have been tailored for too niche an audience.

Now the verdict is in. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier hails it a critical success but commercial flop and reports Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick pointing blame at timing.

Midnight Suns First DLC

A little under two months after the game's release, the first DLC for tactical card battler / superhero social sim Marvel's Midnight Suns will release on January 26.

The Deadpool DLC trailer is titled The Good, The Bad and The Undead. Speaking of bad, there's the capitalization of the second and third the's in that title.

Fantasy Wins

Reviews for survival horror The Callisto Protocol are coming in and like Gotham Knights, some major sites (Gamespot) have scored it a terrifying 5 out of 10. Its current review average on Metacritic is 74.

Horizon Forbidden West, Stray and Grounded garnered critical praise but not as much as fantasy titles Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok.

Warhammer v Marvel

We recently contrasted the promotional strategies employed by games Warhammer 40K: Darktide and Marvel's Midnight Suns. A light tickle versus saturation bombing.

Today launch trailers dropped for both titles (Darktide, Suns) so we'll play the comparison game again.

Go Go Marvel Suns

Firaxis have released both a combat overview trailer and a "Let's Go!" special message for their upcoming tactical roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns.

From people who've been able to play it - which isn't us - there's a lot of love for the gameplay but not the story.

Warhammer v Marvel

Fast approaching year's end, there aren't many more big game titles on the calendar.

Two of those, Warhammer 40K: Darktide and Marvel's Midnight Suns, we've only visited occasionally. Each for occupying different extremes of the promotion spectrum.

Early Midnight

Coming out of Disney's D23 Expo alongside a possibly brought forward to this year "coming soon" announcement for Avatar: Reckoning, is a new trailer and a December release date for tactical card strategy roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns.

Both games had previously been delayed to 2023.

Midnight Suns - The Hunter

Back in July Marvel's Midnight Suns began dribbling out three part meet, gameplay and history videos for their extensive roster of heroes.

They've just completed the most important set of those for The Hunter - their new player designed hero. Meet, gameplay, history.

Midnight Suns Delayed

Apologies for being slow to catch onto this - tactical card roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns has been delayed to next year.

Earlier that day we'd heaped praised on Indie superhero game Superfuse, said we were impressed by Gotham Knights but wasn't interested in Midnight Suns.
