Firaxis Likely Just Needs More Time For Midnight Suns

While the news of the delay is sad, not all is lost, and it could even be good news. This delay gives developer Firaxis the time to fully polish the game and release the best possible product. However, it's unlikely this means any increase in content as Firaxis has already said it is easily the biggest game they have made, claiming Midnight Suns is 40 to 60 hours long. The delay helps avoid another situation where an anticipated game launches in a lackluster state and full of bugs. Such delays have become commonplace, and ensuring a finished product is important not only for the success of Midnight Suns but also for the gaming industry as a whole. More studios are thankfully pushing toward delaying games rather than crunching employees with overtime to release an unpolished game.

While Marvel's games have been rather up and down the past few years, early looks at Midnight Suns along with Firaxis' reputation have given fans hope, alongside the inclusion of heroes from all over the franchise, a customizable player hero, and Midnight Suns' card-based gameplay system. Many are excited about this game and have high expectations for it. While the delay could be a sign of development troubles, it would seem that Marvel's Midnight Suns shaping up nicely, with the development team committed to delivering a satisfactory experience.
