Midnight Suns’ Similarities to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Are Only a Coincidence

comingsoon.net:

In a chat with PC Gamer (as picked up by GamesRadar),  Creative Lead Jake Solomon revealed that the similarities between his game and the recent MCU adventure are a big coincidence. Game development takes a long while, and the team at Firaxis decided on a story centering on the Darkhold book of spells long before it became a central part of Sam Rami’s film. According to Solomon, it was a “genuine surprise” to see the book show up on the silver screen as they were finishing work on the game.

Solomon mentioned that their version of Doctor Strange would adhere to these comics, acting “fussier” than his MCU counterpart and less willing to tear apart the fabric of spacetime so his teenage friend could pass his college admissions test. He also commented on some other similarities between the two works, saying that would focus on the shifting allegiances of the Scarlet Witch. He confirmed that both versions of the character would be in the game in some form, mirroring the shift MCU fans saw starting with  on Disney+.

Whether it's Hydra forces or terrifying demonic creatures, Cap will never back down from a fight.
