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.

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.

Sony is helping bury physical games, and preservation is being left to clean up the mess
A reported 2028 cutoff for PS5 discs gives the industry a deadline it still doesn’t seem ready to handle.

Sony’s reported plan to stop producing PS5 discs in 2028 would push PlayStation deeper into a digital-first future, where access depends on licenses, storefront policy, and platform support lasting longer than companies usually promise.

That’s tidy for Sony and ugly for game preservation. Physical media was never a perfect archive, but removing it before a serious replacement exists turns the survival of old games into someone else’s emergency. It also raises questions about long-term ownership, resale rights, and whether players can truly rely on purchases to remain accessible decades later.

The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.

64GB RAM paired with an RTX 4060?
