Leaked Preorder Info Reveals Release Date for ‘Marvel’s Midnight Suns’
It’s been a long while since we last heard about Marvel’s Midnight Suns, which was originally set for release later this year. Now, thanks to leaks of box art and preorder info, it appears appropriately that the game will be arriving this October.
Originally scheduled for release this past March, Marvel’s Midnight Suns was announced back in November to have been pushed back to later this year. Journalist Nils Ahrensmeier had posted leaked box art of the game (which has subsequently been nailed for copyright claims), along with a release date of October 6. This hasn’t been confirmed by 2K or developer Firaxis, though fellow journalist Tom Henderson has backed up Ahrensmeier’s claims.
In addition, Midnight Suns will apparently have three separate editions for those looking to snag the game. Along with the Standard version, there’s the Enhanced Edition, which includes the base game & Enhanced Premium Pack (which features five premium skins). The Legendary Edition includes the base game, the Legendary Premium Pack (featuring 23 skins), and the Season Pass for Marvel’s Midnight Suns. The Season Pass includes four DLC packs, with each including a new playable hero, new missions, new enemies, and more.
The last bit of info involves the game’s “re-reveal”, which apparently will happen during Summer Games Fest, which kicks off on June 9.
In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, player-created ‘dark heroes’ join forces with the likes of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Blade and Ghost Rider in a fight against Lilith, the Mother of Demons, as well as prevent the cataclysmic Darkhold from occurring.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
