Dotemu, known for revitalizing classic franchises, has announced two highly anticipated additions to the playable roster of Marvel Cosmic Invasion, their upcoming side-scrolling beat ‘em up set to hit the Nintendo Switch and other major platforms.
Rocket Raccoon, the quick-witted Guardian of the Galaxy, and She-Hulk, the formidable gamma-powered hero, will join the base lineup alongside well-loved favorites such as Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, and Nova.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion, developed by Dotemu in collaboration with Marvel Games, draws heavy inspiration from iconic storylines of the Marvel Comics universe.
The game transports players from the bustling streets of Marvel’s New York to the perilous depths of the Negative Zone to confront Annihilus, whose galaxy-wide assault threatens all life.
Players will be able to step into the shoes of classic and modern Marvel heroes, each with their unique move sets and abilities, embarking on a mission to stop Annihilus’s devastating plans.
Reflecting on the expanded roster, Dotemu emphasized the diversity and authenticity brought to the game, capturing Marvel’s distinctive blend of action and personality.
Rocket Raccoon, renowned for his unpredictable combat style and futuristic arsenal, promises to bring chaos to the battlefield with explosive firepower and inventive gadgets.
Fans can expect "the most chaotic fighter yet," as Dotemu states, noting Rocket’s signature penchant for grenades and rapid-fire attacks.
She-Hulk, leaving her lawyer persona behind, relies on raw strength and acrobatic grapples, allowing players to dominate adversaries with her signature gamma-powered moves.
These newly revealed characters join a lineup designed to reflect both classic and contemporary Marvel stories.
Previously announced heroes—Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, and Nova—underscore Dotemu’s commitment to delivering a robust, diverse, and fan-favorite roster at launch.
Each character is set to provide a fresh gameplay experience, whether players prefer brawling through hordes of cosmic invaders or utilizing strategic abilities unique to each hero.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch, with plans to make it available via the eShop and additional platforms.
While an official release date has not yet been confirmed, industry anticipation remains high, bolstered by Dotemu’s strong reputation for high-quality, retro-inspired action games.
The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer showcasing Rocket Raccoon and She-Hulk in action, highlighting their combat prowess and the game’s vibrant, comic book–inspired visuals.
With its expanding cast and classic beat ’em up gameplay, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is poised to be a standout addition to the Nintendo Switch library and the wider Marvel gaming landscape.
