That same premise carries over to the Midnight SunsВ game, and players will take on the role of an original character dubbed the Hunter who will lead a squad of three other heroes into turn-based battle.

The Midnight Sons are a team of Marvel anti-heroes who first came together in 1992, consisting of weirdos like Blade, Doctor Strange, and Johnny Blaze to defeat Lilith, Mother of Demons. Right away, they understood the kind of games we make.вЂќ 'There was an executive vice president from Marvel on the call and they had very specific feedback about XCOM 2'sВ final mission,' Solomon recalled. Its director, Jake Solomon, revealed to Polygon that the studio was contacted by Marvel shortly after the release of 2016's XCOM 2. While fans of racing games and the Fast & Furious film franchise will definitely find things in the new comic to rev up their interest level, Ghost Rider is at home on two wheels or four, according to Moore.Unlike Insomniac's Spider-ManВ sandbox games orВ the loot-RPG that is Marvel's Avengers, Midnight SunsВ is a tactical RPG from Firaxis, bestВ known for the recent XCOMВ games. In his art, Moore borrows the old Ghost Rider's one-piece jumpsuit and horseshoe design on his chest from the classic 1970s look, though instead of a flaming human skull, Smith says, there's 'the presence of a seemingly mechanical one, with a blower on its forehead and exhaust vents on its back.' 'It seemed like a very strong choice.'Д®ven though his ride is different, Robbie has a style that's heavily reminiscent of Blaze, who, Alonso teases, will cross paths with the newcomer sooner than later. 'It's been driven by many anti-hero-type characters, making it a good match for Ghost Rider, and is also one of my favorite childhood cars - The Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee,' Smith says. So they gave him a black 1969 Dodge Charger and added elements of other early '70s autos, such as the Dodge Challenger and Ford Falcon.

Moore and Smith wanted to have Robbie stand out from the typical racing crowd - as well as the local gangbangers - and their sleek import cars. 'It's a huge part of Hispanic culture and Los Angeles culture to love your car - it's your second house. Moore nails both the scenery and the wide-open roads of car-crazy California, according to Alonso, who grew up in San Francisco and is familiar with the sight of lowriders driving down the street. 'Robbie finds himself in a very difficult situation when he meets his Spirit and, rather than a curse, finds it to be somewhat of an opportune blessing.' 'Typically, past Ghost Riders have felt the Spirit of Vengeance to be a curse and personal burden,' Smith says. But Robbie also has to deal with the temptation of riding with a speed demon in tow. Marvel editor in chief Axel Alonso says Robbie has a lot in common with Peter Parker's Spider-Man, who learns that great power comes with great responsibility.
