Despite another delay and a lack of a new release date, the marketing machine behind Marvel’s Midnight Suns has not stopped as we see more of the playable characters that we’ll get to experience once the game is finally out.
Over the last month or so the official YouTube account for the game has been pumping out several videos for each character on the roster with the Scarlet Witch receiving the most recent one just a few hours ago.
Here’s a list, in chronological order, of what has been revealed so far:
- Meet Captain America
- Captain America gameplay showcase
- Captain America history
- Meet Iron Man
- Iron Man gameplay showcase
- Iron Man history
- Meet Spider-Man
- Spider-Man gameplay showcase
- Spider-Man history
- Meet Doctor Strange
- Doctor Strange gameplay showcase
- Doctor Strange history
- Meet Captain Marvel
- Captain Marvel gameplay showcase
- Captain Marvel history
- Meet Wolverine
- Wolverine gameplay showcase
- Wolverine history
- Meet Scarlet Witch
The history and gameplay showcase videos for Scarlet Witch haven’t been released yet, but should arrive in the next few days.
As you can tell form that list developer Firaxis and publisher 2K have a format in mind with these promotions with a meet video, a history of the hero and then a gameplay showcase.
The meeting video is a quick overview of the character, while the other two are rather self-explanatory.
Even for those not too interested in actually playing Midnight Suns, we recommend giving the history videos a watch. These are hosted by content creator Comicstorian and give a nice recap of these long-lived characters from decades of comics.
These histories also focus on when these heroes interact with magic which is a big part of the upcoming game.
Hopefully the recently-announced Disney & Marvel GAMES SHOWCASE will give us a release date for Midnight Suns.
Lastly we have to mention the first Scarlet Witch video, embedded below. For some reason it just cuts off in the middle of a line read right at the end. Very odd.
