Marvel Cosmic Invasion, a highly enjoyable recent adventure in the Marvel universe, offers a thrilling beat ’em up experience. Players battle Annihilus’ forces with a diverse roster including Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Storm, Black Panther, Nova, Rocket Raccoon, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Phoenix, Silver Surfer, Venom, Ghost Rider, and Beta Ray Bill. For those seeking even more playable heroes, developer Tribute Games has released a surprise DLC adding two more characters, with further additions planned for 2026.
The newly released DLC for Marvel Cosmic Invasion introduces The Thing and Cyclops to the playable character lineup. The Thing is described as a heavy-hitting, tank-like character, similar to She-Hulk, who excels at grappling enemies and dealing powerful throws. Cyclops, on the other hand, will focus on ranged combat with his kinetic energy optic blasts, making him ideal for engaging aerial threats with his upward diagonal shots. This inclusion of Cyclops aligns with his upcoming appearance in Marvel Rivals in the coming weeks.
Furthermore, Tribute Games has announced that a second paid DLC is scheduled for release later this year. This upcoming content will feature a brand-new game mode and additional playable characters. While the identities of these future characters remain a mystery, speculation can now begin.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a 2D beat ’em up available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and for PC and Linux via Steam.
