Marvel’s 2022 strategy game Midnight Suns includes supernatural characters that could appear in future MCU films.

The game was developed by Firaxis Games, known for the XCOM series, and released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

Although it was initially expected to be an XCOM‑styled title with a Marvel skin, Midnight Suns turned into a role‑playing game with tactical combat and character relationships. Critics praised its writing and depth despite modest sales.

The story follows The Hunter, Lilith’s child, as the player leads a team of heroes to confront Lilith and the elder god Chthon. The Abbey serves as the game’s base and provides lore about the supernatural Marvel universe.

Characters such as Ghost Rider, Blade, Magik, and Nico Minoru appear alongside mainstream heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider‑Man. The game demonstrates that supernatural heroes can be integrated with established Marvel figures without shifting the tone toward horror.

Midnight Suns uses a turn‑based system that employs card‑based abilities; the design generated discussion at launch but later demonstrated strategic complexity.

The game focuses on the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider, while the MCU may depict the character differently. Johnny Blaze appears as a non‑playable character, and speculation exists that a future film could feature Ghost Rider portrayed by Ryan Gosling.

Midnight Suns is currently on sale for $10.49 on console platforms, providing an accessible way to experience this side of the Marvel universe.
