Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Insomniac’s pair of superhero games, will also voice the character in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, it’s been confirmed.
During a recent studio visit, developer Firaxis confirmed to VGC that Lowenthal will take up the mantle of Peter Parker once again for the new tactical deck-building game, despite the game taking part in a separate universe fromInsomniac‘s games.
Creative directorJake Solomontold VGC, “It’s not meant to be that Spidey, but we heard that Spidey and said ‘that sounds like Peter Parker to me’ but it’s not the exact same character'”.
Lowenthal has voiced Peter Parker multiple times, including in Marvel Future Revolution. He’s even appeared as The Lizard in a recent incarnation of theSpider-Mananimated TV series.
In our new preview ofMarvel’s Midnight Sunswe said: “The combat encounters are sophisticated, challenging and a lot of fun, and the social aspects of the game are a real dark horse. Those quiet moments between the missions are what could really make Midnight Suns a classic, and from what we’ve seen, it’s off to a good start.”
Publisher2Khas confirmed that Marvel’s Midnight Suns will now release on October 7.
ThePS5,PS4,Xbox Series X/S,Xbox OneandPCversions of the game will be released on the newly-confirmed date, while theSwitchversion “will be available at a later date”.
