MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Expands Roster with Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer for Nintendo Switch

Dotemu, the acclaimed studio behind retro-inspired hits, is bringing comic book action to the forefront once again with the upcoming release of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion.

Set to launch later this year for Nintendo Switch and the anticipated Switch 2, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion continues the momentum for Marvel-themed games with its arcade-style, side-scrolling beat 'em up action.

This dynamic title offers players the chance to battle through the streets of Marvel's New York and the perilous depths of the Negative Zone, assembling a powerhouse roster of heroes to face off against the immortal super villain Annihilus.

With the game’s release drawing closer, anticipation has ramped up with the recent announcement of two new playable characters: Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer. Dotemu detailed these additions in a media statement, highlighting Beta Ray Bill’s entrance into the battle wielding his legendary weapon, Stormbreaker.

As a renowned hero from the Korbinite race, Beta Ray Bill leverages his cybernetic strength and formidable hammer to overcome Annihilus’ insectoid forces.

Dotemu describes his combat style as both overwhelming and strategic, perfectly suiting the fast-paced brawling gameplay that the studio is known for. Joining Beta Ray Bill is the cosmic powerhouse Silver Surfer.

Once the herald of Galactus, the Silver Surfer brings his Power Cosmic to the fray, allowing players to stun foes with celestial might.

The character’s ability to glide seamlessly across stages—whether high above the action or skimming the ground—makes him a strategic addition to the game’s ever-expanding hero lineup. Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer are set to join an already impressive cast, including fan-favorites such as Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Venom, and She-Hulk.

This diverse team will join forces in the fight against Annihilus and his relentless bug battalions, delivering thrilling cooperative and solo experiences characteristic of the beat 'em up genre. MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms, ensuring both current and next-generation players can experience the excitement.

Dotemu’s commitment to faithfully adapting Marvel’s universe, combined with its proven pedigree in revitalizing classic gameplay, positions this title as a highly anticipated entry in the Switch library. Keep an eye on official Nintendo Direct announcements and updates via the eShop for more details as the 2024 release approaches.

The addition of Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer reaffirms MARVEL Cosmic Invasion as a must-watch title for both Marvel enthusiasts and beat 'em up fans alike.
