here’s the inaugural episode Marvel’s Midnight Suns, the animated series

There are a thousand ways to celebrate Halloween, but Marvel’s Midnight Suns takes the cake: the animated series that will serve as a prequel to the video game premieres its first episode, and despite the fact that we will see very few superheroes in it, it knows how to get Marvel fans and XCOM in great shape.

Produced under the Marvel label (not to be confused with Marvel Studios

) 2K Games has released the first of the episodes that will be published between now and the launch of Marvel’s Midnight Suns. A series of five prequel shorts that show us how the curious alliance of heroes was formed, starting from Hunter– The game’s protagonist and the first Marvel superhero that can be fully designed by the player.

When it comes to an original character everyone who is passionate about comics and movies starts at the same point as those who are curious about the video game and fans of video games. XCOM.

However, through the final bars we are already told that the rest of the personalities will have much more weight and presence in the remaining four episodes.

Produced by Firaxis, the makers of XCOM y Civilization VI, Marvel’s Midnight Suns bet on the tactical RPG and the explosive emotion associated with everything that has to do with Marvel, taking both concepts to their own universe, more somber and in which dark magic and supernatural themes have a predominant presence. Although characters like Magik, Dr. Strange y Blade

they will feel in their sauce.

the launch of Marvel’s Midnight Suns is scheduled for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on December 2, 2022 and, later, it is expected to arrive on Nintendo Switch. A cap to a very prolific year for superheroes on the big screen, the small screen and video games.
