In its recent livestream, Firaxis revealed new details about Marvel’s Midnight Suns. It confirmed The Hulk as the final playable character, who becomes available before the final story mission. His core resource is Rage – whenever taking damage, he gains a point of Rage, which increases his damage.
When the Rage meter is full, all his abilities gain a boost in damage. Using attacks and Heroic abilities will spend Rage, and most abilities have a high Heroism cost. Pairing him with heroes that generate Heroism, like Doctor Strange, Nico, and Spider-Man is necessary.
But his attacks are pretty powerful. Smash applies Stun, while Thunderclap can Stun and knockback all enemies in a line. Challenging Roar taunts enemies and gains one Rage for each enemy targeting The Hulk. Seismic Slam damages and taunts each enemy in an area, dealing big damage.
Firaxis also provided details on New Game Plus. Friendship levels carry over, but character levels don’t, allowing you to experience the entire campaign again with The Hulk at level 1. Along with individual Friendship levels for each hero, there’s a Team Friendship Level. As you friend more heroes, it increases grants more bonuses.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is out on December 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Watch the launch trailer (which contains some big story spoilers) here.
