Marvel's Midnight Suns originally had around 25 heroes

An initial character roster for Marvel’s Midnight Suns featured around 25 heroes, director Jake Solomon has revealed.

Firaxis’ excellent tactical role-playing game ultimately featured 12 of the biggest Avengers and Midnight Suns faces in its final version – with plans to add four more characters post-launch.

However, trimming down that final roster to something more manageable involved discussing several famous Marvel characters and whether they were suitable.

“I could make the case for probably 50 or 60 heroes,” Solomon told PCGamesN. “I’d be super excited to tell their stories and excited to make them bounce off of each other. My executive producer showed me our initial roster for the game. And it was like 25 heroes. And it was ridiculous. He was like, ‘we’re never going to be able to make this many heroes and all this stuff.”
