Marvel's Midnight Suns News

Midnight Suns made Deadpool DLC as he "sucks the air from the room"

Marvel's Midnight Suns, the new strategy game from XCOM developer Firaxis that trades out soldiers and percentages for superheroes and a deck of cards, almost had Deadpool as a character in the base game, but the team decided against it as they were worried he'd end up a dominant presence in the game's story. On top of that, the character based DLCs will also actually have more content than those already in the game in a few ways - if that sounds interesting to you, our Marvel's Midnight Suns review dives into one of the best strategy games in years.

Watch Nico Tv, The Final Marvel's Midnight Suns Prequel Short

Moving to a new place and making new friends can be tough, even for a powerful witch like Nico Minoru, whose magic abilities make her a great support character during Marvel's Midnight Suns' Tactical Missions. After being recruited to the Midnight Suns by Caretaker several months before the start of the game, 20-year old Nico was eager to befriend her new teammates. Check out the Nico TV Prequel Short below to see how she fared with Magik, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Scarlet Witch.

"Nico went from her role as leader of the Runaways, taking responsibility for a group of people younger than herself, to becoming the newest and youngest member of the Midnight Suns," explains Firaxis Narrative Lead Zach Bush, who authored all five of the Prequel Shorts. "Though she believed in what they were doing, she was a bit out of her depth and felt out of place prior to the events of Nico TV. By the time you meet her at the start of the game, she is very similar to Nico from the comics."

Nico TV is the fifth and last of the Prequel Shorts that set the stage for the opening hours of Marvel's Midnight Suns by explaining how and why this unlikely team of heroes has come together to oppose Lilith. The December 2 release of Marvel's Midnight Suns is now just a few days away, so if you missed any of the Prequel Shorts, now would be a great time to get caught up.

New Marvel's Midnight Suns Prequel Short: The Daywalker

Eric Brooks, better known as Blade to his friends and foes alike, is a half-human, half-vampire hybrid. He has the same superhuman strength, stamina, and senses as the vampires he dedicates his life to hunting, but doesn't share their vulnerability to sunlight. In Marvel's Midnight Suns, Blade trains other heroes for combat in the Yard outside the Abbey, and is a powerful damage-dealer during Tactical Missions. In our latest Prequel Short, we're excited to show you how Blade deals with fang-heads, as well as how he was recruited to the Midnight Suns by Caretaker.

"Our Blade has a long history with Caretaker - or Sara, as he knows her," explains Firaxis Games Narrative Lead Zach Bush, who authored this Prequel Short. "After years of losing himself to the vampiric beast within, Caretaker helped him regain control to become the Blade we know and love (and who vampires fear and hate). She’s one of the few people he respects, and it’s largely because the feeling is mutual."

The Daywalker is the fourth of five Prequel Shorts that explain how and why the Midnight Suns heroes have united to oppose Lilith. Check back next week for the fifth and final Prequel Short, Nico TV, in which we'll hear from the youngest member of the Midnight Suns: Nico Minoru. In the meantime, be sure to catch up on any of the previous Marvel's Midnight Suns Prequel Shorts you might've missed below.
