Marvel's Midnight Suns, a new strategy game from XCOM studio Firaxis, has been delayed. The game is now scheduled for release in the second half of 2022.
In a statement, the studio said it needs more time to make Marvel's Midnight Suns the "best game possible." The extra development time will allow the studio to add more story, cinematics, and overall polish to the game, the team said.

While Marvel's Midnight Suns does feature a card-based battle system, Firaxis says the only microtransactions the game will have are cosmetic and that no, you won't be able to date Marvel heroes.
Marvel's Midnight Suns will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via both Steam and Epic Games Store.
