Nintendo’s Latest Direct revealed Tribute Games and Dotemu collab of Marvel Cosmic invasion, a new 90s style arcade Co-op Beat’em up game that delivers that nostalgia. MARVEL Cosmic Invasion for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam. It will launch in 2025.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion celebrates a universe that’s enthralled our team since childhood, and the genuine honor of being entrusted with this incredible roster also begins a new era for Dotemu’s work with the best entertainment franchises in the world, said Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is truly a lifetime in the making – and after witnessing Tribute Games’ unwavering devotion to the fans and passion for beloved characters firsthand throughout the development of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, we knew teaming up with them for a modern evolution of arcade-style MARVEL action was the only choice.
Tribute Games CEO and co-founder, Jean-François Major adds:
I’m quite sure I speak for the whole team at Tribute Games when I say we are profoundly honored to work on MARVEL Cosmic Invasion. This project allows us to pay homage not only to the iconic MARVEL characters but also to the classic arcade games that shaped our love for gaming.
We approach this cherished license with the utmost respect, infusing every pixel with the care and passion it deserves. We once again set out to modernize and push forward the genre while respecting what made the classics great. We couldn’t ask for better partners at MARVEL and Dotemu who both understand and share our passion. They amplify our dream for this project.
Haluk Mentes, Head of MARVEL Games, comments:
At Marvel Games we feel privileged to make games that we ourselves want to play. Our whole team are huge fans of Tribute and Dotemu’s work, so it was inevitable that we’d assemble with them to bring players the ultimate Marvel Beat’ em Up, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion – a game we can’t wait for players to dig into!
