After launching in December 2022, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is now available for free on the Epic Games Store until June 13th, 8 AM PST. PC players have to make an account to claim the title and download it via the Epic Games Launcher to play it.
Developed by Firaxis of XCOM fame, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is about the titular group working together to stop Lilith and her nefarious schemes. It involves awakening the Hunter, Lilith’s child, and battling her forces, which includes an enthralled Venom. Despite featuring turn-based combat, it’s deck-based, with each hero having unique abilities and capable of knocking enemies into environmental hazards.
However, despite praise from some critics (we gave it a 6 out of 10 in our review), Marvel’s Midnight Suns didn’t perform well commercially. Director Jake Solomon and studio head Steve Martin would leave in February 2023, followed by reported lay-offs at Firaxis in May 2023.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is also available for PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
