Marvel's Midnight Suns Spotlight Shows Off Doctor Strange Abilities

gamerant.com:

Marvel's Midnight Suns is getting closer to its release date, October 7, and developer Firaxis Games has been releasing a series of videos looking at many of the playable characters. Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man are all exciting members of the Marvel's Midnight Suns roster, but it seems the developer has decided to look at its mystical arts in the new teaser.

Marvel's Midnight Suns released a new 30-second clip showing Doctor Strange in action. Interestingly enough, it shows Doctor Strange in his official Midnight Suns outfit instead of his traditional garb (which he will begin the game with), and it shows off some seemingly damage-oriented spells, where he summons a giant black skull that shoots some form of ray, a tornado attack, and what appears to be a massive nova-like explosion. It's a short, but sweet, look at the Sorcerer Supreme.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Creative Director Talks Hero Fantasy, Social Elements, and More

It should be noted that, during our preview of Marvel's Midnight Suns, Doctor Strange's abilities were more support-oriented. Some of the abilities shown off in this trailer fall in line with that playstyle, but some of these definitely seem more like a damage-dealing approach to the doc. Given how players can mix and match abilities in Marvel's Midnight Suns, it's possible this is another viable build for the character, expanding on his initially available archetype. After all, creative director Jake Solomon talked about how each of these characters begin powerful in the game and then must be dialed to 11 in gameplay to really sell the superhero fantasy.

Of course, Doctor Strange is but one of many characters coming to the game. The Marvel's Midnight Suns character roster revealed so far
