Suit up, squad up, and smash your way across the stars—Dotemu and Tribute Games’ pixel-powered beat ‘em up, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, is out now on PC, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
It’s official: MARVEL has gone full arcade. Cosmic Invasion brings back classic tag-team brawling with a cosmic twist, launching today for £29.99/$29.99 across Steam, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’s also part of Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, so there’s no excuse not to jump in.
Coming from the tag-team dream devs behind TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Scott Pilgrim EX, this is the first full-on MARVEL beat ‘em up in decades—and it’s got that pixel-perfect flair gamers love.
Tag-Team Mayhem With a Marvel Twist
Pick two heroes, swap on the fly, and bring the pain with the new Cosmic Swap system. Whether you’re punching through goons as Spider-Man and Wolverine or raining cosmic justice as Silver Surfer and Phyla-Vell, there’s a duo for every playstyle.
15 Heroes. Endless Combos. Maximum Chaos.
From icons like Captain America, Storm, and Iron Man to under-the-radar powerhouses like Beta Ray Bill and Cosmic Ghost Rider, Cosmic Invasion gives you a full roster of 15 playable heroes. Discover unique combos and unleash team-up specials worthy of a cinematic crossover.
Bash Baddies Solo or Co-Op with the Squad
You can fly solo or bring up to three mates for 4-player co-op—both local and online. The game adjusts enemy difficulty based on your crew size, so it scales just right whether you’re flying solo or in full squad mode.
Classic Villains, New Threats
Expect cosmic carnage. You’re not just up against Annihilus—he’s brought backup in the form of Thanos, M.O.D.O.K., Taskmaster and more. The fate of the galaxy is looking dicey, and only your fists (and fancy combos) can save it.
Modes for Every Mood
Tackle the full Campaign Mode to get your story fix, then hit up Arcade Mode for unlockable modifiers and harder challenges. Power up your dream team with in-game upgrades and experiment with new pairings to unlock more cosmic carnage.
Fan Service with Pixel-Powered Style
This one’s dripping with MARVEL love. From New York to Wakanda to the Negative Zone, every level pays tribute to the House of Ideas. Tribute Games’ trademark pixel art brings it all to life, backed by an energetic original soundtrack from Tee Lopes (yep, the TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge composer).
After smashing it with Shredder’s Revenge, Dotemu and Tribute Games are back to remind us why beat ‘em ups never die. MARVEL Cosmic Invasion brings retro flair, big team-ups, and serious galaxy-saving stakes—arcade-style.
As per the press release, it’s time to tag in. The cosmos won’t punch itself.
