Marvel’s Midnight Suns, if you’re unfamiliar, draws inspiration from the Midnight Sons comic book run of the mid-90s to deliver a superhero strategy game blending turn-based combat, card-battling, and Fire-Emblem-style relationship building. At launch on 2nd December, it’ll include 12 playable heroes, ranging from the immediately familiar - think the Avengers and X-Men - to perhaps lesser-known characters from the likes of the Runaways. However, publisher 2K has now confirmed Midnight Suns’ roster will begin to expand in early 2023, when Deadpool joins the line-up as premium DLC. Deadpool arrives in the first of four planned DLC packs - all included in a season pass or available to purchase individually - with each one adding a new hero (plus their respective abilities), new story missions, upgrades for the Abbey, plus new skins and outfits. Midnight Suns’ second DLC pack will focus on Spider-Man’s nemesis Venom, while pack three introduces Morbius - one of the original comic book Midnight Sons - and pack four brings the X-Men’s Storm. 2K is yet to share an ETA for any of the packs beyond Deadpool, but it says full details on contents and release dates will be revealed at a later date. Midnight Suns’ season pass also includes what 2K is calling the Legendary Premium Pack, a bundle of 23 premium skins that’ll be available when the game launches for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC on 2nd December. This contains at least one skin for all 12 of the base game’s heroes, with full details available in 2K’s announcement post.
