The upcoming retro-inspired brawler “Marvel Cosmic Invasion” has revealed two more characters joining its extensive roster: Black Panther and Cosmic Ghost Rider. “Marvel Cosmic Invasion” is a side-scrolling 2D pixel-art beat ’em up developed by Tribute Games, known for “Mercenary Kings” and “TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge.” The game promises snappy, action-packed gameplay that can be enjoyed with friends. The game will feature 15 characters at launch, allowing players to switch between heroes during gameplay.
Black Panther, a global icon, has starred in multiple games, movies, and award-winning comics. Cosmic Ghost Rider, a less familiar name, is an alternate-universe version of The Punisher who became the Ghost Rider after his death and served as Galactus’s Herald. Confirmed characters for “Marvel Cosmic Invasion” include:
– Captain America
– Rocket Raccoon
– Beta Ray Bill
– Silver Surfer
– Black Panther
– Cosmic Ghost Rider
With three more characters left to be unveiled, anticipation continues to build.
Multiplayer sessions will see up to eight characters in action simultaneously, making for chaotic and thrilling battles. The game is set for release sometime in 2025, with no exact date confirmed yet. Fans hope the launch lands soon, though a crowded October release might not be ideal.
New characters enhance the roster
Tribute Games is thrilled to unveil these new playable characters. One of the standout features is the roster of 15 Super Heroes, each offering distinct gameplay opportunities.
The cosmic swap maneuver allows players to switch between two chosen heroes at any time during battle. Black Panther is a formidable martial artist with precise fighting skills and feline agility. He can throw vibranium daggers that deal delayed sonic damage and unleash kinetic energy from his suit with his special move, the Panther Slash.
Cosmic Ghost Rider wields both hellfire and the Power Cosmic. He swings flaming chains to scatter enemy swarms, punishes faraway enemies with stellar firepower, and can call on his Cosmic Cycle to mow down enemies in an emergency. Marvel Cosmic Invasion looks to be an exciting addition to the pantheon of Marvel video games, providing nostalgia for veteran gamers while inviting new enthusiasts with its diverse character roster and engaging storyline.
Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches.
