Marvel’s Midnight Suns un-delayed – coming out December after all

In a rare example of a game coming out earlier than it was supposed to the new Marvel strategy game has gone back to being a 2022 release.

It was originally scheduled for March 2022, before getting delayed until October, and then getting delayed again until 2023. In a shock twist though its release date has now been rewound to December 2 on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

The last gen versions, including the Switch, are still going to be next year but there will also be a series of five short prequel videos, explaining the plot of the game in detail.

Even Alien: Dark Descent, which Disney inherited when they bought 20th Century Fox, got a brief look-ink, even if
