At the same time that the release date for the last generation ports was announced, the Nintendo Switch release has been cancelled.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns was a surprise hit of last year with a Metacritic score of 83%.

It is a different take on superhero games as a tactical turn-based RPG compared to the usual action adventure game.

After the success of Marvel Snap, gamers have been excited to use their favourite heroes and villains in more tactical games.

However, in the announcement of the last generation release dates for Midnight Suns, 2K quietly confirmed that the Switch port was cancelled.

The PS4 and Xbox One ports will be released on May 11 and the four DLC packs will be released on the same day.

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead, Redemption, The Hunger, and Blood Storm will all be included in the Legendary Edition on these platforms.

In the announcement on the official website, there was one line confirming the cancellation of the Switch version.

It reads: “Note that a Nintendo Switch version of Marvel’s Midnight Suns is no longer planned.”

Fans were disappointed by the decision, especially because no reason was given.

However, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is still available on a number of platforms for players to enjoy.
