This game has been delayed several times, most recently  promising a release “before March 2023.” While that’s a big time gap, it’s not as big as “it’ll be realized at some point. Someday. In the future but definitely not now.” 

However, now we HAVE A RELEASE DATE: December 2, 2022.  Midnight Suns is a  game that combines stragegy with RPG. The turn based combat relies on a card system.  You’ll can also interact with heroes off the battlefield to develop allies that can unlock new abilities.

This game has been long rumored abd finally confirmed. The game will feature four heroes, labeled “king,” “captain,” “soldier,” and “spy.” Thebpannel confirmed that this is young Steve Rogers as Captain America, and Azzurri, T’Challa’s grandfather, as Black Panther. Game creator Amy Henning said all you really need to know is that “you get to punch Nazis and punch Hydra. Who doesn’t want to punch Nazis and punch Hydra?” (We kinda thought they were the same thing). Henning also said “It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”
