Midnight Suns mods have finally arrived, with Captain Marvel, Magik, and Nico retextures being the most notable thus far. It’s no surprise that the majority of modifications for the game are decorative in nature. Because the game has many famous characters from the Marvel world, modders often can’t resist adding versions of characters that fans know and love.
Midnight Suns is a Marvel turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games and launched in December 2022. The overall reaction has been good, and the inclusion of modding will further endear the developer to gamers. Their prior games have a history of supporting the modding community, so it should come as no surprise to gamers who are acquainted with the developer.
One of the earliest mods for the game was made, and it gave Captain Marvel, Magik, and Nico new in-game appearances. The three are the beginning female characters in Midnight Suns, therefore players may apply this mod immediately after starting the game. The makeover is notably slimmer than the original game, with all three characters displaying more flesh than their original designs. The mod author, however, does this tastefully and avoids over-sexualizing the characters.
Compatibility with other modifications, which is widely wanted by PC users, is one of the mod’s finest aspects. In fact, the mod developer urges gamers to mix their mod with hair packs in order to guarantee the new redesigns seem as nice as possible. PC gamers often want a large mod list, and many games are easily broken when too many are loaded.
Midnight Suns’ early success is a good omen for both the PC community and the game itself. Titles that enable modifications are often active years beyond their release date, with games such as Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim living far longer than predicted thanks to the modding community. While Midnight Suns will undoubtedly get DLC, it’s a good thing that cosmetic modifications are enabled, since it would have been much too simple for Firaxis Games to just outlaw mods, instead opting to sell cosmetics to users. Midnight Suns has unlocked outfits, but having the possibility to mod in additional is fantastic.
