Marvel's Retro-Inspired Beat-Em-up Is Getting Two More Playable Superheroes
The first DLC adds the X-Men leader and the Fantastic Four’s rock, with new tag-team combos and a $3.99 price tag, Tribute Games said.
- On Monday, publisher Dotemu and developer Tribute Games released the first DLC for Marvel Cosmic Invasion, adding X-Men leader Cyclops and Fantastic Four member The Thing to the game's roster.
- The retro-inspired beat 'em up launched last year with 15 playable heroes, but fans specifically requested Cyclops and The Thing, who now join the fight against Annihilus.
- Priced at $3.99, the expansion introduces distinct playstyles: Cyclops utilizes ranged kinetic beams to counter airborne enemies, while The Thing functions as a tank-heavy character with grappling abilities.
- Tribute Games confirmed a second DLC update will launch this fall, introducing an all-new game mode and additional playable characters to expand the roster further.
- The release coincides with a significant year for Marvel gaming, which includes the upcoming launch of Insomniac's Wolverine game and Amy Hennig's Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
