Marvel's Midnight Suns: Redemption

released on Feb 23, 2023

Venom, the deadly amalgam of Eddie Brock and an alien symbiote, joins the Midnight Suns to right the wrongs he committed under Lilith's demonic influence. Turn your former Fallen adversary into a fearsome ally across new story missions as Venom fights alongside his best frenemy Spider-Man. Blood-sucking vampyres have infested the sewers beneath New York City, but even they quake in fear at the sight of Venom's pitch-black claws and razor-sharp teeth. With help from the Midnight Suns, Venom is fighting to regain control of his actions and rid NYC of the undead scourge—but unshackling himself from one manipulative demon has attracted the attention of another. With fangs bared and tongue writhing in ravenous anticipation, Venom is eager to chew through evildoers, protecting the innocent and feeding his insatiable hunger in the same bite. Use Venom's voracious violence to your advantage and make this brutal antihero an honorary member of the Midnight Suns. This content requires Marvel's Midnight Suns to play and is included in the Season Pass.

This is the Venom DLC for this game. As in the base game, the gameplay is still really fun, but the story lets it down entirely.

This DLC feels only superficially about Venom and the writing here doesn't work as well as it did in the Deadpool DLC. This is supposed to be some sort of redemption arc, but it is very superficial and feels (at best) like a retread of what Venom is always about. They also get the same surface-level only treatment as the main cast (his thing is eating people!) and it just isn't interesting or engaging. Eddie Brock himself has complicated motivations that can't really come across in a very shortened format like this -- he isn't interesting or wacky enough to just watch him bounce off people like Deadpool is.
This is probably a me thing, but Venom is written like a big dumb brute who just wants to eat people. They literally talk like the Hulk or something when in missions. It just doesn't make sense. Eddie is not a moron. The symbiote is not a moron. Why would the combination of them be a moron?

The actual plot is more like setup for the Morbius DLC with the crew trying to deal with Vampyres. I think this still works better than the main storyline, despite how dumb it all is.

Visuals are as uninspiring as the base game, but like Deadpool the animation is somehow much better. The in-combat model for Venom also looks much better than most other characters (probably because they don't really have a face).

Venom's gameplay is sort of unique. They gain one stack of a damage buff every turn which is lowered for each Venom card you play. It ends up being a bit like a reverse of Deadpool's ability -- You want a more measured approach, saving up for big moves instead of playing as many cards as you can to get as many kills as possible.
High damage with a varied toolkit. They are fun to use!

Don't go into this expecting much more than the main game and you won't be disappointed. The story is only marginally better, the writing of Venom themself is pretty bad, but the gameplay they add is fun!

Otro buen DLC. No introduce tantas cosas nuevas como el de Deadpool, pero me parece más interesante a nivel de trama.

Venom es un personaje chulísimo y divertidísimo de utilizar que encaja en muchísimas combinaciones de personajes. La caracterización de este Eddie me ha gustado mucho y hacen un buen trabajo a la hora de reintroducirlo en la trama tras derrotarlo en la historia principal.

Muchas ganas de ver cómo sigue esta historia en los dos DLC que quedan y qué sorpresa más chula encontrarme con ese jefe final.

Another good DLC. It doesn't add as many new things as Deadpool's, but it's more interesting in terms of storyline.

Venom is a very cool character that's also fun to play and fits into many team combinations. I've really enjoyed this Eddie's personality and they did a great job of reintroducing him into the plot after defeating him in the main storyline.

Really excited to see how the story continues in the two remaining DLC and it was such a nice surprise to find that final boss.

another pretty solid DLC


Venom is a dope character with a cool moveset and awesome cosmetics.

His little story was also pretty decent, although I think I preferred Deadpool's. But that's mostly down to personal preference.


hope they keep up with the good work.

I love this game.
