Developed by Firaxis Games, Marvel’s Midnight Suns arrived at the tail end of 2022 and picked up strong reviews from critics (in case you missed it, PSU also rated it highly in our review), but unfortunately, it didn’t exactly set tills alight.
That’s according to Jason Schreier on Twitter, who said that he spoke to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick regarding the game’s commercial performance. And, while it wasn’t a big success, the executive feels it could have lasting appeal.
Some news: Marvel's Midnight Suns was a critical success but a commercial flop. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told me in an interview this afternoon that "it's possible the release window wasn't perfect" but that he thinks it could have a long tail, like other Firaxis games
