Pixel Art Beat-em-up Suprise
Marvel has surprised fans with the announcement of Marvel Cosmic Invasion, a stunning pixel art beat-’em-up inspired by the River City series. Developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu—the same team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge—the game is set to launch this year for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Blending the arcade spirit of the ’90s with modern technology, the game promises to bring back the joy of couch co-op gaming.
Spider-Man, Wolverine, and More in Action!
The game features iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, and Nova. Players can choose a team of two superheroes and switch between them mid-fight. While the developers remain tight-lipped about future additions, it’s hard to imagine Marvel mainstays like Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, Hulk, and Black Widow not joining the fray at some point.
Ready to Save the Galaxy?
The story is as intense as the visuals. “The immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it. Fighters both Earth-born and cosmic must now join forces in a star-spanning adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave. Brawl through the streets of New York City all the way to the depths of the Negative Zone to foil Annihilus’ vow to spread death across the cosmos,” the description teases.
Share the Chaos with Local and Online Co-Op!
Marvel Cosmic Invasion supports up to four players in both local and online co-op, with crossplay enabled so you can team up with friends across platforms. For those eager to relive the thrill of 90s arcade co-op on modern systems, this is a must-play!
