Essentially Sports’ Midnight Suns Article Used My Tweet!

I didn’t even know this was a thing!

https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-marvels-midnight-suns-finally-confirms-a-release-date-which-would-light-2022-up-for-eager-fans/

Apparently, if one of your tweets is imbedded into an article, you get a notification about it.

Take-Two and 2K Games announced Marvel’s Midnight Suns on December 2, 2023! So I’m hoping to get it as a Christmas present.

Especially as there is a Legendary edition that costs $100, which is way more than I would ever spend on myself for a game.

I’m still a little concern it will be a lot like XCOM 2, which I enjoyed, but wasn’t very good at.

The Legendary edition comes with the Season Pass and 23 Prenium Skins, which I will only want the Magik one, for sure.

If you preorder it, you get Doctor Strange’s Defenders skin, but I don’t think I’m getting that (unless it is on a Black Friday sale and my wife snatches it up)

So I’m concern I won’t take to the game and this is a bit of an investment, so I’m hoping there is a casual mode or the tutorial isn’t overly complicated.

Which is what I wrote!

In hindsight, I’m glad I stayed on brand and mentioned Magik and not simply just wrote about my concern the game will be too hard.

My plan is to keep Magik in my party at all times, and probably Wolverine too. If they add two more X-Men characters, I’ll run those as my full squad. I’m sure there will be times, especially early in the game, where we have to play as everyone and Magik will be out of my party, but once I can get her back in, she’s staying!

From the team that brought us XCOM, brings us Midnight Suns, coming March 2022.

I was watching the trailer :

Thanks to Playstation for hosting the trailer!

My excitement peaked at the 1:29 minute mark with Magik appearing!

Twitter user, @Toxic_Daybreak took some great screen caps

They capture Magik with not only a Warlock pin but also a Lockheed pin! Let’s go!

If they can somehow incorporate Lockheed into one of her moves, that will be the only move I use and will keep reusing it as soon as the cool down occurs.

Magik is never going to leave my team.

I’m going to be using Magik and Wolverine as my permanent cast and then Iron Man if Walker is in the room with me.

The cast is : Doctor Strange, Magik, Iron Man, Wolverine, Nico, Ghost Ridder (Robbie), Blade, Captain America, and Captain Marvel, with a new character, The Hunter, that we customize. I’m going to try to make a Kitty Pryde and call it a day.

We get a gameplay trailer on September 1, so hopefully the game isn’t too much like XCOM. The developer, Firaxis Games, is stating it won’t be like XCOM as it is a tactical RPG, but I’m not sure what that really means as looking at hte list of games, I do not believe I have played any of them, much less heard of them.

But I am planning on getting this game and following the heck out of it, so there’s that.

Not thrilled that 2k is publishing it, but hopefully the mini-transactions are not too much or game breaking. They probably going to find this post and figure they can get at least ten dollars out of me with a Lockheed upgrade.

I was hoping by now that someone would have made a gif of Magik’s moments, but we’re not there yet. If you see one, please let me know.

Are you getting the game? Are you super hyped? TMNT : Shredder’s Revenge and Marvel’s Midnight Suns are the only games I’m planning on buying on launch day. I’m hoping Shredder’s Revenge is a 2021 game, but if it is 2022, then that’s what it is.
