Marvel Cosmic Invasion Brings 15 Playable Heroes to Consoles and PC in December 2025

Tribute Games, the studio behind the fan-favorite TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, is back with another stylish brawler that channels the golden age of arcade action. Titled Marvel Cosmic Invasion, the game is set to land on December 1, 2025, across all major platforms – including PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and even the upcoming Switch 2.

This latest entry from Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu looks ready to explode with nostalgic energy and modern polish.

The announcement came with a fresh trailer that dives deeper into its spectacular pixel-art visuals and smooth, fast-paced combat. The footage gives fans a first look at Phoenix and Iron Man joining the growing roster of playable heroes. They join a star-studded lineup featuring Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Captain America, Phyla-Vell, Venom, Nova, She-Hulk, Rocket Raccoon, Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Black Panther, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Each hero promises unique abilities and fighting styles that capture their comic book essence while fitting seamlessly into the beat-em-up formula.

Tribute Games introduces a clever new mechanic called the Cosmic Swap System, allowing players to switch between two heroes mid-fight. This feature lets players adapt instantly to enemies or environmental challenges by taking advantage of each hero’s strengths – whether that’s Wolverine’s close-range brutality or Storm’s area control. Combined with upgrade paths and customizable combinations, it encourages replayability and experimentation with different team setups. Co-op play, both local and online, is also expected to shine, letting friends jump into the chaos together, much like Shredder’s Revenge.

Known for their attention to gameplay feel, animation, and music, Tribute Games has steadily become the gold standard for modern pixel-art brawlers. If Marvel Cosmic Invasion maintains the energy and humor of their previous hit while expanding its universe with Marvel’s cosmic heroes, it could easily become one of the standout releases of 2025 – a nostalgic yet fresh homage to the side-scrolling era.
