Marvel’s Midnight Suns is getting the blood-sucking Morbius as a playable character today as an update. The game had a season pass, and this marks the third release for the season pass, which promises to add a total of four characters to the game.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is receiving new gameplay additions all the time. Not too long ago, the game introduced Venom and Deadpool, and now another dark Marvel character, Morbius the Living Vampire, is joining the mix. In the comics, Morbius was a member of the Midnight Sons and is a perfect fit for the game’s expansions due to his vampiric nature. His role in the game could draw from his comic book history, and he might seek a cure for his condition while trying to disable the more supernatural “vampyres.”
Morbius’ status as a main Midnight Son in the comics could make him a central part of the upcoming DLC plot, putting him in a significant role in defeating Dracula. He may also have a feud with Blade, the other vampiric Midnight Sun, adding to the game’s intrigue. While Morbius is not a major solo character, he has starred in several storylines, including Adventures Into Fear, where he turned from a villain into a more tragically heroic figure.
Morbius Arrives in Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Here is what the developers had to say upon the release of Morbius:
Morbius slinks into the Abbey as a brand-new playable character in Marvel’s Midnight Suns! Available as the third of four releases in the Season Pass, Morbius comes with 11 new Hero Abilities, the Laboratory upgrade, new Hero Skins and Abbey Outfits, and plenty of exciting new team synergies to discover.
Slaking Morbius’ bloodlust in his new story missions won’t come easy—the vampyre outbreak that began with Deadpool and Venom was just the beginning. Now Hydra is infusing undead DNA into its toughest troops to create a squadron of transformed supersoldiers. Morbius hoped to reverse-engineer their traits to create a serum that would let him withstand sunlight—but in the wrong hands, his research could make all of vampyre-kind unstoppable.
But Morbius brings far more to the Abbey than mad science and bloodlust. Get to know the disgraced genius, learn about his checkered past with Blade and Ghost Rider, and net passive bonuses that will make Morbius stronger than ever. And if you’re not chatting by the soda bar or catching a late late movie with Morbius, you can use his Laboratory Abbey Upgrade to tinker with your team’s hero stats. But take it from Morbius—every gift comes with a price.
Team up with Morbius, quell the growing vampyre threat, and take on a supercharged Hydra in The Hunger, the third release of the Marvel’s Midnight Suns Season Pass.
