Marvel’s Midnight Suns Venom DLC Arrives Later This Month

Written by Brandon Hofer on February 16, 2023

News: A new trailer has been released to showcase the upcoming DLC and you can also try the game out for free if you haven’t picked it up yet.

2K and Marvel have just released a new trailer for the second piece of downloadable content for Marvel’s Midnight Suns’, Redemption. Featuring Venom, this new downloadable content is available as either a standalone purchase or as part of the season pass that you can buy (already included in the Legendary Edition). Each piece of downloadable content has a new recruitable hero and will add three new story missions, in addition to a new upgrade for the Abbey, new skins, and new outfits for the hero. Once you decide to recruit a hero they will be added as a permanent member to your roster where you can take them on missions, customize their abilities, and strengthen your friendship with them outside of battle.

In Redemption, Venom joins the Midnight Suns on February 23 as a recruitable hero to right the wrongs he committed under Lilith's demonic influence, bringing new abilities and an insatiable appetite to chew through evildoers. Redemption includes three new story missions that continue off of the first DLC, which introduced the threat of vampyres on New York City. Players will want to build Venom's unique Research project Whisper Web, which expands the tactical options for the Intel resource.

In addition to today's trailer reveal for Venom, Marvel's Midnight Suns is available for 40% off for a limited time:

Xbox: 40% off Enhanced and Legendary editions from February 7 to February 20
