In Marvel Cosmic Invasion, the immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it. Super Heroes 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 in classically inspired side-scrolling combat.

Choose and control your own team of two characters while tagging between them mid-fight with the innovative Cosmic Swap system, capitalizing on distinct superpowers and special attacks to create unique team-ups and dish out devastating damage. Unlock stellar powerups and rewards while experimenting with different duos and bash through a fantastic collection of locales and nemeses from the Marvel universe. Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s action includes a range of accessibility features, empowering the whole family to be Super Heroes (or villains), and supports four-player drop-in/drop-out local and online co-op with crossplay.

After setting the bar for arcade-inspired beat ‘em ups with the acclaimed, multimillion-selling smash hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Dotemu and Tribute Games modernize the timeless fun of brawlers with exciting tag-team fighting and a multi-era celebration of the most iconic comic book universe in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. A masterful pixel art style perfectly embodies the spirit of classic Marvel character designs resulting in thrilling action that’d look right at home in an arcade cabinet.

Publisher Dotemu and Tribute Games delighted San Diego Comic-Con fans by revealing the next duo to join the playable roster of Marvel Cosmic Invasion. 

As unveiled during the Marvel Cosmic Invasion Deep Dive – A Nostalgia Driven Approach to your Favorite Characters panel, two newcomers debuted in a trailer featuring striking animation fit for a comic book, paired with a first look at both fighters in action:

• The Silver Surfer, a metallic-skinned humanoid alien hailing from the Fantastic Four series. Imbued with the Power Cosmic, the Surfer can stun any adversary. Easily gliding in the skies or close to the ground, insectoid invaders can’t escape Galactus’ former herald.
• Beta Ray Bill, a fan-favorite recognized by the mighty Thor as a proven ally, and wielder of his own devastating hammer known as Stormbreaker. Half-cyborg, half Korbinite, Bill’s strength can squash any bug battalion standing in his way.

In the spirit of Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s tag-team battles, Tribute Games revealed a second surprise on stage: MARVEL Cosmic Invasion will feature voiceovers for its playable roster as well as the most pivotal figures within its galaxy spanning narrative. Brian Bloom, Trevor Devall and Elysia Rotaru joined the panel lineup as special guests following the announcement.
