Marvel Snap’s Midnight Suns Variant Crossover Makes Too Much Sense
While not as heavy of a card-centric game asMarvel Snap,Marvel’s Midnight Sunsutilizes cardsfor character abilities during combat and gives its featured characters a deck of cards for players to customize to fit their play style. This givesMarvel SnapandMidnight Sunsa sort of kinship within the library of Marvel games that had many fans longing for the two games to cross over. Now, despite being nearly a year since the two games' launches, it seems that this highly-anticipated crossover is finally coming to fruition, hopefully signally the start of moreMarvel Snapcrossovers to come.

While not an exact one-to-one replication of the tarot cards inMidnight Sunsseeing as some cards that featured characters not yet inMarvel Snaphave been replaced with characters fromMidnight Sunslike Nico Minoru, Magik, and Doctor Strange who were not originally part of the tarot deck, these variants are still beautiful and will be highly coveted byMarvel Snapplayers.
