Midnight Suns is burning through its season pass and is close to getting its third post-launch character, Morbius. The vampire doctor made his debut in a new trailer, which not only gave players an in-game look at the character, but also explained when he’ll be joining the squad. Surprisingly, Morbius is out now.
This cinematic trailer for this expansion called The Hunger pits Morbius against Dracula, as shown by the handful of cutscenes in the footage. The Hunger also, fittingly, adds a laboratory to the Abbey, which seems to let users juice specific stats of their heroes.
Firaxis released a second video that went deeper into Morbius’ mechanics, noting that players who use Captain Marvel will be right at home thanks to Morbius’ Hunger Meter. When the meter fills, players will draw the Bloodlust card that buffs Morbius in various ways. According to the breakdown, Morbius works best with Blade on his team and has skills that both complement his playstyle and pull from his backstory, including a Charm ability that is similar to the Hunter’s Mindbender card that targets an enemy who will then attack their nearest ally.

Morbius is the third of four announced DLC heroes. Storm is the final one and, if the game keeps up its pattern, will likely be released around this time next month. Each character has been $14.99 or included in its $49.99 season pass.
