Support will continue to Marvel’s Midnight Suns despite a studio shakeup that saw the game’s creative director Jake Solomon and studio head Steve Martin leave after more than 20 years at Firaxis Games. The studio’s current CCO, Heather Hazen, will become Firaxis’ new head of studio going forward.
What future for Marvel’s Midnight Suns?
Hazen promised that Firaxis would continue to support Marvel’s Midnight Suns with post-launch content. The game’s season pass includes four DLC items and the first of them, Deadpool, was released last month. Venom will follow on February 23. Later in 2023, expansions Morbius and Storm will also arrive, although their release dates have yet to be revealed, while the game will also launch on PS4. Whether there will be more content after that remains to be seen, though Solomon’s departure and the game’s poor sales performance cast doubt on that.
Jake Solomon is leaving Firaxis after 23 years to pursue a “new dream”, although he won’t reveal what that is at this time. Meanwhile, Steve Martin is leaving the company after a 27-year tenure, although his future plans are unknown. Heather Hazen will begin her new role as head of studio with a new Civilization game, which will reach “exciting new heights for our millions of players around the world”, and Ed Beach will remain in the role of creative director for this franchise.
