Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC will include new superheroes and cosmetics

Marvel's Midnight Suns' character roster is basically complete now that Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch have been confirmed, but if you're worried your favourite superhero hasn't made the cut don't worry - it's possible they'll make it into Firaxis' upcoming Marvel strategy game as DLC.

"There are more characters coming post release," confirms senior franchise producer Garth DeAngelis. "We have four heroes in the works... they're gonna have their own story missions, they're gonna have the full gameplay suite. So all new abilities that you'll be able to bring into your decks as well as developing friendships with them and relationships and things like that."

These characters will likely come as part of the season pass announced today during Summer Game Fest. DeAngelis stopped short of confirming the identities of the new heroes, but Midnight Suns already contains characters from several areas of Marvel fandom - The Avengers, X-Men, New Mutants, and heroes like Blade and Ghost Rider. DeAngelis also says that Marvel has been really easy to work with, and the implication is Firaxis has free reign to introduce any characters it feels it has the resources to do so.
