Finally, our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is swimming his way back to Xbox with Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Happy days!
It’s been a while since Spider-Man appeared on the Xbox console. Recently, the webbed hero has been tied to exclusive deals on Sony’s PlayStation. Namely with Marvel’s Spider-Man from Insomniac Games as well-being exclusive DLC for Marvel’s Avengers.
Spider-Man is back on xbox!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that the last time Spider-Man officially appeared on an Xbox console was with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014 and the port of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 in 2016. So, it’s fair to say that Peter Parker’s return to Xbox is long overdue.
“We’re thrilled to invite players into the darker, supernatural side of Marvel,” said Bill Rosemann, Vice President, and Creative Director at Marvel Games. “In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, our friends at Firaxis and 2K have created an incredibly unique and totally authentic Marvel experience that fans can leap into this October!”
The return of Spider-Man was revealed in a cinematic trailer for Marvel’s Midnight Suns at last night’s Summer Game Fest. Spider-Man will be one of the many unlockable characters in the game.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is an XCON-like tactical RPG from 2K and Firaxis Games, and it is said to take place “in the darker side of the Marvel Universe.”
Hulk has turned to the darkside!
Along with the likes of Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Blade, Spider-Man and more, you will fight against an all-powerful foe, named Lilith. Who by the way is turning the likes of Scarlett Witch, Venom and even Hulk into her demonic minion pets.
Are you looking forward to this tactical RPG set in the “darker” Marvel Universe? Let us know across our social media channels.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns will release on October 7th, 2022 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It will also be released for the Nintendo Switch at a later date.
