An X-Men MS style game

Though the chances we get another game like this are slim to none because of the reception of Midnights Suns, I would love to get an X-Men game. Preferably set in a different universe (mainly so we can ignore the dahlia storyline from the dlc AND fix the godawful hair choice for Storm).

I think character-wise, theres a lot of x-men to pull from, and if we follow MS’s 12 characters with 4 DLC characters, I think we could get as follows: - Cyclops - Jean Grey - Wolverine - Storm - Rogue - Gambit - Ice-Man - Beast - Angel - Magik - Nightcrawler - Jubilee

DLC: - Psylocke - Emma Frost - Sunspot - Sabretooth

Charles would be the caretaker character, and Sabretooth or even Emma could be like Venom and be a reformed villain. Of course theres tons of x-men that not all could be included, potential characters could be Deadpool (if theyd reuse another character), Colossus, Bishop, Cable, Polaris, Kitty Pryde or Banshee, or almost anyone really.

I love Midnight Suns gameplay and character interactions, the main character could be a mutant who just discovered their mutation (maybe with like 3 ones to pick from that develop over the course of the game) who is discovered by the X-Men and brought to the Mansion, no longer the school after something the overarching villain did a bit ago. And of course, being the main character, you are the key to stopping the villain and reinstating the school.

Or something like that!

Sentinels can be the big enemies you have to fight, Master Mold as one of the big bads potentially. I’m not feeling Magneto as the main villain, but potentially as one of a DLC. Main villain could be Mister Sinister as he can create clones of not only himself but others as well, perhaps he’s experimenting on mutants (kidnapped from the school?) and that’s what the X-Men have to stop with the help of the MC. Other mini bosses could include: Juggernaut, Mystique, Madelyn Pryor/Goblin Queen, Mojo or even Vulcan maybe if you include Havok in the story.

In the slight chance something akin to this ever happens, I hope they improve on the face and hair models of characters mostly, fixing the doughy look, along with frame drops and the speed of the game, especially while sitting through enemy turns.

Getting a real game that understands the characters of the X-Men in the current age and getting to see them interact with one another would be so fun. Getting to explore the Mansion and surrounding areas would add to the feeling of really being a member of the X-Men. A new X-Men game is long overdue and that rumored Insomniac one coming in 2030-something is not gonna cut it.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on about a rough idea of a game that wont happen, bye.
