Marvel’s Midnight Suns was one of my personal favorites from Gamescom 2021 last night. The trailer got me so hyped that I instantly asked myself all the questions that you read in the headline. If you’re like me, then I got you covered because I'll answer all of those questions for you today.

But first, if you haven’t seen Marvel’s Midnight Suns trailer yet, check it out here:


Marvel’s Midnight Suns Release Date

Marvel’s Midnight Sun was originally slated for a release on March 22, 2022. But since the original reveal during Gamescom, we got two delays. First, the game was pushed back to the second half of 2022, with a more concrete release date of October 7 revealed at Summer Game Fest 2022.

The release date has changed again, though. This time through a Take-Two financial call and subsequent messaging through Twitter from the developers. Marvel's Midnight Suns will now release at some point during the fiscal year 2022 of publisher Take-Two, which goes until March 2023. That means that we might have to wait until 2023 to finally play the game. Sad...


Which Platforms Marvel’s Midnight Suns Will Release On
