Update # 2 [Thu 9th Jun, 2022 08:45 BST]It looks like a revelation trailer for the release date of Marvel’s Midnight Suns has indicated the release of the game on October 7 on all platforms except Nintendo Switch. The Switch logo was noticeably absent from the Summer Game Fest 2022 trailer (below) and seems to indicate that the Switch version of the Firaxis game has been dropped.

Update # 1 [Sat 4th Jun, 2022 01:55 BST]: Gaming journalist Tom Henderson says a revelation or at least a “re-revelation” of Marvel’s Midnight Suns could take place very soon.
The game is expected to appear at the Summer Game Fest and is rumored to be released this October, and is believed to have three different versions: improved, legendary, and standard. Premium skins are also expected.
I should have said “reveal” here or ad or whatever. But you get the point.— Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) June 3, 2022
Update [Thu 5th May, 2022 02:25 BST]: Following the delay in November last year, this game has been rated by the Australian Qualifying Board.
It received an “M” for adult rating and contains “mature themes and supernatural violence” along with in-game purchases. At least it’s a sign that it’s still on its way to a launch in the second half of the year.
If we hear any updates on a release date, we’ll let you know.
Original story [Thu 4th Nov, 2021 05:30 GMT]: Delays Don’t Stop Now! After Shovel Knight Dig, 2K and Firaxis Games have confirmed that their tactical role-playing game Marvel’s Midnight Suns will no longer arrive in March 2022.
Instead, it is now back in the second half of the year. Whenever it arrives, it will launch on various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. The “tough decision” was made to ensure that this “dream project” for the team could be the best possible game when it premieres.
Below is the full update courtesy of the development team:
On behalf of Firaxis Games, thank you for sharing your excitement with Marvel’s Midnight Suns. We were thrilled to see your reaction to everything from our game announcement to the revelation of our card-based tactical combat. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a dream come true for the team and we can’t express what an honor it is to create something new in the Marvel Universe.
We decided to share that we made the very difficult decision to move our release window to the second half of 2022. We know that many fans were looking forward to playing the game originally next spring, and that decision was not easy. We decided to push our release because we need more time to make this the best game possible. We believe in our creative vision of Marvel’s Midnight Suns and want to do it justice by offering an unforgettable adventure set on the supernatural side of Marvel. These extra months will be used to add more history, film and general polish and will be essential to help us make our vision a reality.
Thanks for understanding, you are the best fans in the world.
—Jake Solomon, Creative Director, and Garth DeAngelis, Senior Franchise Producer
