First, Marvel fell in love with XCOM, and then asked Firaxis to create Midnight Suns

In a new issue of Edge Magazine , we learned that Marvel itself has reached out to Firaxis and asked the developers to create Marvel's Midnight Suns .

In a long article for Edge 363, which goes on sale on Thursday, September 9, the journalists paid a lot of attention to Marvel's Midnight Suns. They explored an amazing approach to tactical combat and third-person sections. It was also revealed that Marvel personally approached XCOM developer Firaxis right after the studio finished XCOM 2: War of the Chosen and asked them to make a game based on Marvel comics.

Creative Director Jake Solomon told Edge:

I love Marvel and it's mutual. You often hear executives praise the game. Perhaps they really like her or they are busting. But the first call from Marvel and on the line is a VP with specific feedback on XCOM's final mission.
