Here are the details on whether you can team up with friends and play Marvel’s Midnight Suns online.

Is Marvel’s Midnight Suns multiplayer? Answered

While at first glance, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will evoke memories of classics like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Midnight Suns is very different from that title and many others like it beforehand.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a single-player role-playing title by the makers of the XCOM series, Firaxis Games. The gameplay is similar to XCOM as it’s a tactical RPG, but it’s infused with a card-based battle system on top of the sprawling character customization, conversations, and more.

As Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a single-player TRPG, it does not currently have any multiplayer components to it. But that could change down the line with future DLC.

There’s been no indication of Firaxis adding multiplayer to Marvel’s Midnight Suns, but some of its previous titles in the same genre have had a multiplayer component. For example, XCOM: Enemy Unknown had a multiplayer mode that allowed players to create squads and face off against each other.

As for now, however, it appears that Marvel’s Midnight Suns is limited to one player and however large their audience watching them play may be.
