The teams behind TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge are reassembling, this time for a side-scrolling comic book brawler. Marvel Cosmic Invasion has been announced for a 2025 release on PC and consoles.

The reveal trailer for Marvel Cosmic Invasion was shown during the March 2025 Nintendo Direct presentation. Developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu, this 2D brawler stars characters from the Marvel universe fighting against otherworldly foes. Spider-Man, Captain America, Storm, Wolverine, Nova, and Phyla-Vell have all been confirmed as playable characters.

The trailer shows off the game’s retro art style and also gameplay. We see several levels and enemies, including a battle against insect-like creatures on an airship over icy terrain, and a fight against Venom near ruins.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is set for a release later this year on PC and consoles. It was one of several games shown during the latest Nintendo Direct.
