Marvel’s heroes are going into the tactical role-playing game world this year with Marvel’s Midnight Suns. The previously delayed title from 2K Games is now launching on October 7, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns | “Darkness Falls” Trailer

Midnight Suns is a TRPG featuring tons of Marvel properties from the Avengers to the X-Men and Runaways. In it, players take the role of a created character named “The Hunter,” and join with Marvel’s gallery of good guys to take on Lilith, Mother of Demons. It originally got revealed last year at Gamescom 2021.

Alongside the release date, a new trailer at Summer Games Fest showed off a few previously unconfirmed heroes, including Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch. Those Avengers join an already stacked cast that includes Iron Man, Captain America, Magik, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Blade, and more.

The game features character-interaction-based gameplay where players must explore the world and speak with other characters. This mechanic influences the abilities earned by the created character and other heroes as well.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns was originally going to release earlier than October 2022. In November 2021, 2K games announced via the Midnight Suns Twitter page that it made the decision to push the game back to later in the year to add more polish to the supernatural comic title.

Role-playing, comic book, and gaming fans alike can join forces with some of Marvel’s greatest heroes to fight demons and other dark forces in Marvel’s Midnight Suns on October 7, 2022.

Asus might serve a chip bummer with its next ROG Ally gaming handheld
Cyberpunk 2077 running on the Asus ROG Ally.

The handheld gaming market moves fast, and that’s exactly why a newly leaked ASUS device feels a little underwhelming on paper. A fresh listing suggests ASUS is preparing another ROG Ally handheld, but instead of delivering a major redesign, the company may simply be refreshing the internals. The leak points to an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor at the heart of the device, suggesting a mid-generation update rather than a true successor.

That’s not necessarily bad news. The Ryzen Z2 Extreme is expected to be a capable chip for portable gaming. The problem is that handheld gamers are increasingly looking for more than just a processor upgrade.

MSI’s next gaming monitor can morph between three different resolutions and refresh rates
Why buy three monitors when MSI wants you to buy one expensive one?
MSI MPG OLED 322URDX

Gaming monitors have slowly become one of the most aggressively competitive categories in PC hardware. Over the past few years, brands have raced to push refresh rates higher, improve OLED technology, reduce response times, and deliver increasingly brighter displays. But despite all those upgrades, buyers still usually have to pick one side of the experience. You either buy a super-fast esports monitor with lower resolution or a high-resolution OLED display focused more on cinematic gaming.

At Computex 2026, MSI appears to be trying to eliminate that compromise. The company has officially unveiled the MSI MPG OLED 322URDX36, which it describes as the world’s first triple-mode QD-OLED gaming monitor.

Give yourself the edge in galactic conquest with these cheats and commands
Fleet in Stellaris

Running a galactic empire in Stellaris is an arduous task. One bad war, an economic spiral, or one neighbor with a suspiciously large fleet can turn a promising save into a slow-motion disaster. You may want to fix a mistake, or maybe even want to test a build. And sometimes, you just want to see what happens when your empire suddenly has more alloys than sense.

This is where Stellaris console commands come in. These cheats let you add resources, finish research, control empires, spawn ships, trigger events, or bend the galaxy in ways the normal game usually won’t allow.
