Firaxis' excellent superhero strategy adventure Marvel's Midnight Suns is preparing to open the doors to the abbey and usher in yet another new fighter, with the game's previously announced Venom DLC now confirmed to be arriving next Thursday, 23rd February. And ahead of that, publisher 2K has once again launched a free trial across all platforms, as well as discounts on the base game.
Venom will be the second DLC character to join the base game's playable superhero line-up of Blade, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Hulk, Iron Man, Magik, Nico Minoru, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, and Wolverine, following on from the addition of Deadpool last month.
Venom's DLC release, titled Redemption, includes three new story missions continuing on from those seen in Deadpool's DLC, new skins and outfits, plus a new Research project known as Whisper Web, said to expand the tactical options for the Intel resource. Redemption will be available to purchase separately or as part of Marvel’s Midnight Suns Season Pass, which is included in the Legendary Edition.
Four DLC characters have been announced with Morbius and Storm due to arrive over the coming months.
To coincide with today's release date reveal for Venom, 2K has announced it'll be discounted Marvel's Midnight Suns across all platforms. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, there's 40% off the Enhanced and Legendary editions, although only for only for PlayStation Plus subscribers on Sony's console.

Discounts end 20th February on Xbox, 1st March on PlayStation, and 2nd March on Steam.
