Thankfully players can breathe a sigh of relief. On a livestream, developers stated that while character levels are another story, friendship levels will be carried over. Meaning, you don’t have to go birdwatching with Wolverine again if you don’t want to. This allows all those bonus passives and combos acquired during your first playthrough to be ready from the first mission. This pairs really well with the fact that any new characters unlocked will also be joining you right from the start. Sounds to me like the heroes will be in for an easy second playthrough of Midnight Suns.
