Marvel's Children of the Night, Marvels Midnight Suns
Type: Policy
Marvel's Children of the Night is XCOM developer Firaxis' latest strategy game to launch, and it brings a touch of superhero magic to the strategy class. With 12 superheroes as your goal, your mission is to defeat Lilith, the Mother of Demons. Players operate a fully customizable Marvel hero that is Earth's last line of defense against the underworld.
Mario Crazy Rabbit: Spark of Hope, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope
Release date: 2022
Type: RTS / Action
Mario's Crazy Rabbit: Spark of Hope is the second game of the wonderful linkage between Ubisoft and the Nintendo IP. The original heroes are back, and there are some new faces, this time they face a new villain threat. The game will include the wider "Mario + Crazy Rabbit" universe and open each world for free exploration. The same goes for combat, where the game eliminates the grid system, giving you free control over each of the game's three heroes. There are still similar turn-based tactical rules to follow, but more creativity should be allowed to deal with enemies.
