The long-delayed PS4 and Xbox One versions of Marvel’s Midnight Sun will finally launch next Thursday, May 11 — but the previously announced Switch release is now officially canceled.
Midnight Sun – which blends card-battling turn-based combat and Fire-Emblem-style relationship building into a brilliant superhero strategy – had a bit of a bumpy road to release, before launching for PC, Series X/ Two were late. S, and PS5 last December.
At the time of its second delay, 2K made the surprise announcement that it was postponing Marvel’s Midnight Sun for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch indefinitely, saying only that those versions would be released at a “later date”. There will be launches – and we have no further updates till date.
2K has now confirmed that Marvel’s Midnight Sun will launch digitally for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 next Thursday, May 11, in a post on its website. The release coincides with the arrival of the game’s fourth and final post-launch DLC, Blood Storm, which adds new story missions as well as Storm as a playable character. The publisher made no mention of a physical release of Midnight Sun on Xbox One and PS4, but it did confirm – albeit without further explanation – that a Switch version is “no longer planned”.
If you’ve been patiently waiting for Midnight Sun to arrive on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, the good news is it’s in for a treat. Eurogamer’s Christian Donlan called the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions “great tactical fun nested in a sweet-natured superhero dollhouse” in his recommended review last year.
