FULL STORY ======================================================================
Marvels Midnight Suns first DLC now has a release date, a wacky new trailer, and a sassy frontman. Available January 26, The Good, The Bad and The Undead adds the wise-cracking, 4th wall-breaking Deadpool to Midnight Suns roster,
as well as new story missions, more cosmetics, and upgrades to the Abbey our heroes base of operations.
Deadpool is something of an anomaly in Marvel. Hes a sardonic mercenary, bursting with irreverent humor and meta jokes. Hes childish, incongruous, and disrespectful. I love him.
Judging by the trailer (which you can check out below), it looks like
Deadpool is at least partially responsible for a sudden influx of vampires.
It also seems as though hes taking this problem about as seriously as you might expect, which is to say: not at all. In addition to this new set of story missions, Deadpool comes with a whimsical food truck for the Abbey, brand new attack and skill cards, and, best of all, a new reason he doesnt remove his mask. What fourth wall?
Marvels Midnight Suns has been something of an unexpected hit that [made me like superheroes again]. From its well-paced and immersive writing to the way in which it lets you wail on goons , Firaxis latest superpowered strategy
game has a lot to offer.
What sets Midnight Suns apart, though, is the way in which it invites you to get to know the rest of your superhero team between missions. You spend time with your colleagues, hang out and develop friendships. You learn more about these people and you become drawn into Midnight Suns world through its enthralling and sometimes hilarious writing.
In its lighter moments, Midnight Suns boasts a playful sense of humor that seems compatible with Deadpools whole deal. I, for one, would love to see him crashing Blades book club or winding up Caretaker, the irascible stick in the mud who technically owns and maintains the Abbey itself.
However, the appearance of Deadpool does raise one or two concerns for me. Midnight Suns does have a healthy sense of humor, but it is, at its core, a game about a group of profoundly traumatized people trying to come to terms with their difficult pasts and uncertain future. Midnight Suns doesnt shy
away from Tony Starks struggle with alcoholism or Nico Minoris abuse at the hands of her murder-happy mother.
Threading Deadpool into the delicate emotional tapestry of Midnight Suns is certainly a tall order. However, given how much Firaxis' well-written
strategy RPG has surprised us so far, it isnt beyond the pale to suggest that they might well pull this one off, too. Here's everything we know about Marvel's Spider-Man 2
