MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a full-on celebration of the Marvel Universe and a poignant love letter to the arcade games of the ‘90s. Developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu in collaboration with Marvel Games, the title boasts an extensive roster of iconic Super Heroes from across the Marvel Universe. Diving into frenetic side-scrolling beat ‘em up action, players can take on the armies of Annihilus alone or with friends, saving the cosmos from otherworldly enemies intent on total conquest.
After its digital debut in December 2025, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is pulling out all the stops for its physical release, including a Collector’s Edition produced by Rock It Games. Available for pre-order through May 25, the MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Collector’s Edition not only contains physical copies of the game in all of its various console releases, but also plenty of jaw-dropping collectibles, all packaged in a loving retro box set to wow fans. For those looking to showcase their love of the game and its vivid 16-bit depiction of Marvel’s heroes and villains, the MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Collector’s Edition is a must-have.

Within its retro arcade-styled collector’s box, Rock It Games’ MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Collector’s Edition includes moveset combo cards for all 15 playable characters and a double-sided poster drawn by Mark Bagley and colored by Frank D’Armata, two legendary comic book artists who have worked on many titles that inspired the game’s cosmic story.
The set also comes with a 12-inch-tall custom statue that depicts Annihilus battling Rocket Raccoon and Nova. Vibrantly colored and finely detailed, this statue beautifully depicts a classic moment from the climax of the game.
Fans looking for the ultimate MARVEL Cosmic Invasion experience can celebrate the multitude of Marvel Universe elements present in the Collector’s Edition—a gift truly fit for any gamer.
In MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, the Negative Zone warlord Annihilus takes center stage, launching a sweeping attack on the entire Marvel Universe. From Earth and Asgard to the Klyntar and Kree homeworlds, no corner of the cosmos is spared.
Fortunately, the Marvel Universe is not without its protectors, as a growing coalition of Super Heroes join forces to stop the Annihilation Wave. From more grounded crimefighters like Spider-Man and Wolverine to cosmic adventurers like Silver Surfer and Rocket Raccoon, the Super Heroes of the Marvel Universe have taken up arms to derail Annihilus’ sinister schemes.

With 15 playable characters, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion recruits heroes from all corners of the Marvel Universe for players to bring to the battle. This includes Avengers like Black Panther and Iron Man to X-Men like Storm and Phoenix, all ready to do their part to save the universe from Annihilus. The game’s story features a myriad of recognizable Marvel locales and branching paths, each with their own optional objectives for players to revisit and unlock, leading to customization options and power-ups for each character.
And to complete the retro theme, the game’s art design evokes the classic early ‘90s iterations of many of its characters, including a long-haired Nova and a Wolverine in his fan-favorite brown and tan costume. While MARVEL Cosmic Invasion packs the nostalgia, those new to the games and comics will find plenty of hard-hitting fun to enjoy here too.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is available now digitally for PC, Linux, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation, and Xbox Series X|S.
