Tribute Games, the Montreal-based indie developer known for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, has announced a new Marvel title. Their upcoming game, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, is a retro-themed beat ’em up designed to deliver a classic side-scrolling brawler experience. This release follows their previous success in reinterpreting beloved retro genres for modern audiences.


Marvel Cosmic Invasion aims to evoke the feel of traditional arcade brawlers, featuring pixel-art aesthetics consistent with its retro theme. The game will include a roster of 15 playable Marvel characters, allowing players to select from various iconic heroes. While specific characters have not been detailed, the title suggests a focus on the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC sometime this holiday.
