Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the latest game to be delayed. It was one of the surprise reveals at Gamescom Opening Night Live back in August and is one of a host of Marvel games set to release over the next few years. Fortunately, the new release date for Marvel’s Midnight Suns isn’t too long after the original one.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is now slated to come out in the second half of 2022. It was originally supposed to launch in Spring 2022, but the devs stated in a message on Twitter that they wanted extra time to add story, cinematics, and polish to the game:
“Hey everyone,
On behalf of Firaxis Games, thank you for sharing just how excited you are for Marvel’s Midnight Suns. We’ve been thrilled to see your reaction to everything from our announcement of the game to the reveal of our card-based tactical combat. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a true dream project for the team and we can’t express what an honor it is to create something new in the Marvel Universe.
We decided to share that we’ve made the very tough decision to move our launch window to the second half of 2022. We know many fans were looking forward to playing the game originally next spring, and this decision did not come lightly. We decided to push our launch because we need more time to make this the best game possible. We believe in our creative vision for Marvel’s Midnight Suns and want to do justice in delivering an unforgettable adventure set in the supernatural side of Marvel. These extra months will be used to add more story, cinematics and overall polish and will be essential in helping us make our vision a reality.
Thank you for understanding – you are the best fans in the world.
Jake Solomon, Creative Director
Garth DeAngelis, Senior Franchise Producer”
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait as long to play Midnight Suns as we do Insomniac’s Wolverine game. That one isn’t expected to launch for at least a few years.
