Alongside the customizable Hunter, Marvel’s Midnight Suns features a huge roster of characters from across the comics universe. It’s in true crossover fashion as well, with Avengers, X-Men, and Midnight Suns characters making their appearance. The new Marvel’s Midnight Suns trailer confirms two new additions to the roster, Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch, and this means that there is one character left to be announced.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ Hunter is joined by Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Magik, Nico Minoru, Blade, and Ghost Rider across a playthrough, with several characters being unlocked along the way. Game Rant recently spoke to Marvel’s Midnight Suns creative director Jake Solomon about the process of unlocking these characters, with there being a super-secret one at the end of the journey.
For example, players will begin the game, more or less, with Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel, with them being quickly joined by Magik, Nico Minoru, Blade, and Ghost Rider. From there, players will unlock Spider-Man in Marvel’s Midnight Suns in a few hours, and Wolverine around 10-12 hour mark. It’s unknown when Scarlet Witch and Captain America become playable, but they won’t be the last one. There’s one more Marvel’s Midnight Suns character yet to be revealed, and they’ll be unlocked at the end of the game.
When asked at what point players would have all of Marvel’s Midnight Suns characters unlocked, Solomon said,
“You have to beat the game to get the last one, yeah…That’s one we have not announced yet.”
It’s uncertain who this character is, with Solomon understandably unable to share more, and it’s uncertain when they’ll be revealed. They may very well be kept under wraps until players beat the game, which would add a nice surprise and reward to Marvel’s Midnight Suns. It should be noted that the game features New Game Plus, and while this has yet to be confirmed, it stands to reason that players will be able to carry over all their characters and their builds to the next playthrough.
It's going to be quite the journey getting to that point, though. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is approximated to take 60 hours to beat, with 60% of that being the game’s tactical combat and the remaining 40% being tied to Marvel’s Midnight Suns' social systems, exploration, and more. For now, fans will just have to wait and see who’s at the end of the line.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns releases October 7 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
