Marvel’s Midnight Suns brings players face-to-face against supernatural forces as they team up with and live among the Midnight Suns, Earth’s last line of defense against the underworld.
Through a twisted marriage of magic and science, the nefarious force known as Hydra has revived Lilith, Mother of Demons, after centuries of slumber. Lilith will stop at nothing to complete an ancient prophecy and summon her evil master, Chthon. Pushed to the brink, the Avengers desperately look to fight fire with Hellfire by enlisting the help of the Midnight Suns – Nico Minoru, Blade, Magik, and Ghost Rider – young heroes with powers deeply rooted in the supernatural, formed to prevent the very prophecy Lilith aims to fulfill.
Together, they resurrect an ancient warrior – the Hunter, Lilith’s forsaken child and the only hero known to have ever defeated her.
2K and Marvel Entertainment debuted a new trailer for Marvel's Midnight Suns' second post-launch DLC -- Redemption -- featuring the monstrous Venom! Available for either standalone purchase or as part of Marvel’s Midnight Suns Season Pass (included in the Legendary Edition), each DLC brings a new recruitable hero and adds three new story missions, a new upgrade for the Abbey, and a selection of new skins and outfits for the hero. Once you recruit a hero, they'll be added as permanent members to your roster and you can take them on missions, customize their abilities, and build Friendships outside of battle throughout the game.
In Redemption, Venom -- the deadly amalgam of Eddie Brock and an alien symbiote -- joins the Midnight Suns on February 23 as a recruitable hero** to right the wrongs he committed under Lilith's demonic influence, bringing new abilities and an insatiable appetite to chew through evildoers. Redemption includes three new story missions that continue off of the first DLC, which introduced the threat of vampyres on New York City. Players will want to build Venom's unique Research project Whisper Web, which expands the tactical options for the Intel resource.
