Disappointment for Marvel Midnight Suns Fans as Nintendo Switch Port Rumored to be Cancelled

Nintendo Switch is known as the home of ports by many of its fans. The reason is the fact that developers often release ports of older games such as Doom, Skyrim, etc. for it. But it often gets its own versions of games pretty close to the original launch, such as the Hogwarts Legacy’s Nintendo Switch port, which will be launching soon enough.

But one game that has been anticipated for a long time might end up missing this hybrid console altogether. Even though a port was announced for it a long time ago!

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is no longer coming to the Nintendo Switch!

Firaxis Games is known for making exciting real-time strategy experiences. They are best known for their XCOM series of sci-fi strategy titles. Those games are so good that they were extremely successful and are now available on pretty much every platform out there, including iOS and Android.

The other franchise that they worked so hard on is the Civilization series. This historical real-time strategy series has made fans out of even the most casual strategy gamers.

Firaxis decided to go a step further with these games and decided to partner with Marvel in order to develop a game featuring a number of their superheroes. This game was eventually named Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and as the name suggests, this game featured a selection of Marvel’s supernatural superheroes such as Blade, Ghost Rider, etc.

The game was released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox series consoles in December 2022. And it was further announced that this game’s Nintendo Switch and last-gen versions would arrive at a later date. Recently, the last-gen version of this game was finally given a release date of May 11. The Nintendo Switch version, though, was nowhere to be seen. A post on the game’s website suggests that a Switch version is no longer planned.

It might be due to the massive size of this game and the complexities that come with the decision to port it. The low sales numbers of the game might also have led the developer to take this decision.

Fans are indeed disappointed, but they also remember that the performance of XCOM 2 on the Nintendo Switch was subpar at best. Midnight Suns, on the other hand, is a newer, better-looking game; maybe the porting process is taking too long, and they decided to instead focus on their next title.

Whatever the reason might be, it looks like this game is no longer coming to the Nintendo Switch. But fans still have a lot of reasons to be excited about. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being the biggest of them!
