Ahead of the game’s launch next week, the team behind Marvel’s Midnight Suns has now given us a somewhat more detailed look at how the game’s fighting mechanics will work.

A new combat overview trailer just landed, giving players more of an idea as to exactly how the game’s tactical, turn-based combat system will play out. The game is set to be released next Friday, December 2 and the trailer shows off its unique take on card-based tactical battles.

You can check out the combat overview trailer right here to get a feel for the superhero action coming our way next week.

Players will have full control over assembling their squad of heroes and defining the abilities of each one before heading off on missions in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
