Marvel Cosmic Invasion DLC Adds Cyclops and The Thing to Nintendo Switch Lineup

Marvel Cosmic Invasion, developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu, has expanded its playable roster with two new additions: Cyclops and The Thing.

The side-scrolling brawler, which launched in December and is available across platforms including the Nintendo Switch, initially shipped with an eclectic mix of heroes such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Beta Ray Bill, and Nova.

Dotemu and Tribute Games are continuing post-launch support with paid character content and new modes planned for later in the year.

New Characters: Cyclops and The Thing

Dotemu has released a single-character DLC pack priced at $3.99, available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

The pack introduces two fighters with distinct playstyles:

- The Thing: Presented as a grappling-focused powerhouse and frontline tank, The Thing brings heavy-hitting close-quarters options and enhanced mobility that lets him traverse environments and engage enemies quickly.

The studio describes him as a protective, family-oriented brawler who excels at holding the line for teammates.

- Cyclops: The X-Men leader joins the roster as a ranged specialist.

Cyclops uses his optic blasts to dispatch foes and offers diagonal beam angles to counter aerial opponents and control space, providing a tactical complement to the game's existing characters.

Dotemu’s statement on the release reiterates that the new pack is available immediately on the Nintendo Switch eShop and priced at $3.99 across platforms.

The publisher has positioned these characters as additions that expand team composition and strategic options in Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s cooperative and solo play.

What’s Next: DLC 2 and New Game Mode

Dotemu has also announced that DLC 2 will arrive in Fall 2026.

According to the publisher, the second add-on will include additional playable characters and introduce an all-new game mode designed to present fresh challenges for both heroes and villains facing the cosmic threat led by Annihilus.

Dotemu says further details on characters and the new mode will be revealed later this year.

For Nintendo Switch owners, the new character pack is downloadable via the Nintendo eShop now.

Fans and players can expect continued updates from Dotemu and Tribute Games as the studio rolls out DLC 2 and additional content for Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
