MARVEL'S MIDNIGHT SUNS Has Once Again Been Hit By A Release Date Delay

Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news to share with you (via GameFragger.com) today as Take-Two Interactive has announced yet another delay for the upcoming video game, Marvel's Midnight Suns

Originally set to be released back in March, we learned last year that it would arrive later than planned. While a launch date was then set for October 7, we now have no idea when we'll be able to get our hands on the game. All 2K Games and Firaxis will say is that it's coming our way sometime this "fiscal year."

That doesn't conclude until March 31, 2023, so we don't see the game arriving this side of the Holidays (if that was even close to happening, chances are a new release date would have already been announced). 

This is obviously a real shame, but making it even worse is the fact that last-gen versions of Marvel's Midnight Suns now don't have any sort of launch window. As a result, those of you who don't own a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or PC will be out of luck if you're hoping to play the game in the near future! Clearly, there are major hardware issues at play here.

"The world as we know it is changed forever when Hydra, through a procedure of magic and science, manages to revive Lilith, Mother of Demons," reads the synopsis for Midnight Suns"In an effort to prevent Lilith from spreading her armies across the world, destroying everything in her path, The Avengers enlist the Midnight Suns to assist in their battle."

"This team of supernaturally powered heroes will need to work with the likes of Captain America, Iron-Man and Captain Marvel if they want to stop Lilith from resurrected Chthon, her all-powerful master."

So, what games are left to release this year? Feel like everything is getting delayed

@bkmeijer1 - Ragnarok!

@bobevanz - guess that game has the whole of Q4 for itself then, because I kinda expect Hogwarts Legacy to be delayed past the holiday season as well

@Waddles - I think Hogwarts Legacy will get pushed, but Gotham Knight could still be released this year.

Or rather, I hope it get's released this year. I want new Batgirl content, especially after WB canned the movie.

@Waddles - that really is a bad decision.

I think I said it before, but one of the few things Titans got right is how they did her disability in my opinion. Her having a prostethic leg means they could still have her actually fight crime as Batgirl.

I guess the character bio doesn't outright mention paralysis, so maybe that is the route they're going as well?

@bkmeijer1 - hopefully Halo Infinite co-op story so I can finally play it.

@Waddles -
You can have temporary paralysis from a spinal cord injury, in which case it'll fade in time and you can work towards getting back to normal levels with specific exercises and training - but for a quick summary in a backstory it sounds really dumb.

@Waddles - Gotham nights got pushed to feb or march. That game and midnight sons looked like they needed some polish.

The trailer for this seemed really weird anyway. Kinda felt like they were just cherry picking random ideas from the comics and then just throwing them all together without any rhyme or reason beyond "this'll look cool"

Looks like the kinda game I would've expected to see 2-3 generations ago, not in a post-Arkham Trilogy/Spider-Man PS4 world.

As a side note, I didn't realize Wolverine, Iron Man, and Captain America fall under the "supernaturally powered heroes" category...

I don't mind the name change as much here, but 'Midnight Sons' was kinda related to why the team formed as they were facing the 'Mother of all demons' and was formed by Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze.

Midnight Suns still kinda works as the concept of light in the dark, but it feels a little disappointing to stray from the origin. Not as bad as potentially calling X-Men 'The Mutants' though, that's still one of the dumbest decisions they could possibly make associating it with 2020's 'The New Mutants'

Wished they could turn this into a more old school style fighting game.
