Marvel Snap‘s recent crossover with Marvel’s Midnight Suns brought a variety of new tarot card-themed variants to the shop based on collectibles found in-game for players to purchase. This collaboration marked the first time Marvel Snap has crossed over with another Marvel game, and it seemed like the choice to collaborate with Marvel’s Midnight Suns was a match made in heaven. However, while these tarot card variants are great, it was a missed opportunity not to go all-in on the crossover potential and feature even more Midnight Suns-themed content than just tarot card variants.

With all the different Marvel games recently released like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or in development like EA Motive’s Iron Man game, Marvel Snap has tons of potential crossover content just waiting to be capitalized on. As a card-based strategy RPG, Marvel’s Midnight Suns was the perfect candidate for Marvel Snap to team up with, and its in-game collectible tarot cards were an obvious choice for Marvel Snap variants. Even outside these tarot card variants, there is a lot more to Marvel’s Midnight Suns that could have been used for new content in Marvel Snap during the game’s Bloodstone season.

Marvel Snap’s Midnight Suns Collaboration Could Have Been So Much More

Although many Marvel Snap players were excited about the tarot card variants, there are additional ways Midnight Suns could have been represented in Marvel Snap for this crossover. Player avatars would have been an easy way to give more love to these tarot card artworks, and Marvel Snap could have included one for each tarot card variant. While the bundle that featured Magik’s tarot card variant did include an avatar of the same artwork, more variants should have gotten the same treatment so that players could show off their favorite card’s tarot variant in their profile.

The tarot card collectibles may have been one fan-favorite aspect of Midnight Suns, but the game could have also inspired other variants for Marvel Snap beyond just these tarot card variants. Each of the playable heroes in Midnight Suns could have had a variant in Marvel Snap based on their artwork for the game and feature the character in their Midnight Suns suit. This would give Marvel Snap‘s Nico Minoru, Blade, Magik, Ghost Rider, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Hulk, Doctor Stange, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, Deadpool, Morbius, Venom, and Storm cards their own unique variant as playable characters in Midnight Suns.

Marvel Snap could have gone a step further beyond simple cosmetics based on Midnight Suns and introduced new cards for the Bloodstone season based on characters from the game that are not yet represented. Characters like The Hunter, Caretaker, and even Lilith could have been perfect additions to Marvel Snap and given players even more of a reason to check out Midnight Suns to learn more about them. While Nico Minoru is making her first appearance in Marvel Snap this season, adding a Midnight Suns original character like The Hunter would have been an even better way to celebrate this collaboration.

This crossover should have also gone both ways as well and featured some Marvel Snap-related items in Midnight Suns. Although new content updates for Midnight Suns have ended with the release of the Storm DLC, it would have been nice to see some small additions from Marvel Snap be added in a minor update for players to check out. Simple things like a deck of Marvel Snap cards as a gift the player can give to heroes during a hangout or special Marvel Snap Infinity borders for cards in players’ Midnight Suns decks would have been a nice nod to the collaboration with Marvel Snap.

Marvel Snap is available for PC and mobile devices.
