In the upcoming video game Marvel’s Midnight Suns, players will have the opportunity to assume the role of one of a number of fan-favorite Marvel superheroes. Between now and the game’s release later this year, Firaxis and 2K Games are going to provide more information about each of these characters in turn. After having released a hero spotlight trailer and a gameplay showcase focused on him, 2K has now released another video that goes over the character’s history. Appropriately enough, Captain America is the first to be getting that attention, and after those releases, 2K has now released another video that goes over Captain America’s history.
Captain America has a long and illustrious history, having begun his very first comic book run in the 1940s when the Second World War was still in full swing and long before Marvel was even a company. This was also before Marvel was ever known as Marvel. After a brief absence, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby resurrected the character in the 1960s under the guise of a World War II veteran whose corpse had been cryogenically preserved and was only recently revived; the rest, as they say, is history. Watch the video that follows to get more information about him, including his background, some of the most memorable storylines he’s been a part of, and more.
On October 7, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC platforms. A version for the Nintendo Switch will be released at a later date.
