Marvel Cosmic Invasion Game Unveils Two New Playable Characters

Wow, okay, let’s dive into this rollercoaster. So, apparently, there’s this thing called Marvel Cosmic Invasion, right? And, get this, at Summer Game Fest 2025—yes, we’re talking futuristic stuff—they dropped the bomb that Rocket Raccoon and She-Hulk are joining the fray as playable characters. Why this hits different, I don’t exactly know, but it’s exciting. Dotemu, the brains behind some retro-action goodness like TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, is bringing us this Marvel sidescroller with more heroes than you can shake a stick at.

Anyway, there’s supposed to be 15 heroes (or was it 50? Joking—definitely 15) in this game, but for now, we’ve got icons like Captain America and Spider-Man, strutting their pixely stuff. Oh, and Venom, Wolverine, Storm, Nova, and Phyla-Vell are in there too. It’s like they pulled these guys directly from a comic book fever dream or something. But back to the new kids on the block—Rocket with his gun-toting shenanigans and She-Hulk smashing things left and right. It almost sounds too good to be just a game.

And then there’s this trailer they threw at us. I swear it’s like an avalanche of action. You’ve got these iconic moves—Rocket shooting lasers all over the place and She-Hulk literally making the ground shake. No idea if this is kind of over the top, but that mighty double-fist move? Ultimate power vibes. Like, if the Hulk saw this, he’d probably nod in approval.

Oh, the locations. Right, I almost forgot. They showed off some crazy, vibrant environments like robot factories, jungles, and even a… moon city? Yes, please! Toss in some gnarly enemies like mutant-hunting Sentinels and this dinosaur villain dude, Sauron. And wait, did I mention the boss fights against Thanos? It’s like every Marvel fan’s dream come true crammed into one chaotic, pixelated wonderland.

Here we are, though, waiting for Dotemu to drop more superhero bombshells on us. I’m already imagining the crazy tag-team combos you could pull off. Just thinking about it almost makes my head spin. So, while the release date is still a mystery wrapped in enigma, or however that saying goes, we’ve got this tantalizing preview to keep us guessing—and theorizing—long into the night. Maybe I’ll dream up my own wacky hero for this game. Or maybe not. Who knows? Anyway, can’t wait to see what’s next!
