By Still no date though
We love a good retro-style beat-’em-up, and Marvel Cosmic Invasion is looking like another cracker.
Developer Tribute Games, which previously brought us TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, has unveiled two more playable characters in the latest trailer:
Yes, Black Panther and Cosmic Ghost Rider are now part of the roster.
Black Panther needs little introduction; the character is pretty popular thanks to the Marvel movies. He’s a hero with enhanced strength and reflexes, and can draw upon the knowledge of all previous ancestors who’ve adopted the Black Panther persona.
Cosmic Ghost Rider is an interesting addition. The regular Ghost Rider is fairly well known, but Cosmic Ghost Rider is a different hero. They share similar abilities, but the Cosmic version is able to wield Hellfire, as well as the Power Cosmic, which seems like a fairly important plot point in this game.
The pair joins the rest of the roster, which is as follows:
- Beta Ray Bill
- Captain America
- Nova
- Phyla-Vell
- Rocket Raccoon
- She-Hulk
- Silver Surfer
- Spider-Man
- Storm
- Venom
- Wolverine
So far, 13 of the game’s 15 playable characters have now been unveiled.
There’s still no release date for Cosmic Invasion, but hopefully it’s not too much further away. At this point, we suppose it’s possible it’ll wind up a 2026 title, but there’s still some time left to squeeze this out before the end of the year.
