“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.”

The game’s story is inspired by Midnight Sons Unlimited comic series, featuring both mainstay characters as well as lesser-known, more obscure heroes and villains, which might mean that we'll get a very wide cast of characters in the final game. In Midnight Suns, the player takes the role of “The Hunter,” a customizable original character made specifically for the game. Other confirmed playable characters for the game are Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Blade, Ghost Rider, Magik, and Nico Minoru.
