Marvel Cosmic Invasion, the dynamic brawler from Tribute Games and Dotemu, continues to expand its cosmic footprint with a significant new update.
Since its launch in December 2023 on Nintendo Switch and other platforms, Marvel Cosmic Invasion has stood out for its robust cast of legendary and fan-favorite Marvel characters—including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Beta Ray Bill, and Nova.
Its latest update, now available via the Nintendo eShop and other digital storefronts, introduces a trove of fresh character palette options inspired by six celebrated Marvel titles, along with an array of gameplay refinements and quality-of-life enhancements. New Character Skins from Six Marvel Games One of the marquee features of this update is the addition of new color palettes inspired by the following Marvel games: - Marvel Rivals: Skins for Spider-Man and Venom - Marvel Snap: Palettes for Black Panther and Rocket Raccoon - Marvel Strike Force: Skins for She-Hulk and Wolverine - Marvel Future Fight: Looks for Captain America and Nova - Marvel Contest of Champions: Costumes for Phyla-Vell and Beta Ray Bill - Marvel Puzzle Quest: Designs for Storm and Iron Man This expansion allows fans to enjoy their favorite heroes in legendary styles drawn from across Marvel’s rich gaming history, further deepening the cross-title celebration that has defined Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s unique appeal on the Nintendo Switch and beyond. Gameplay and Quality-of-Life Improvements Beyond visual upgrades, Tribute Games and Dotemu have introduced practical adjustments based on player feedback.
The Hero Lab now features enhanced palette previews, making it easier to view cosmetic options, as well as a new Team Level indicator to better track progression.
The update also revises Arcade Mode modifiers—most notably, transforming the Double HP option into an HP Multiplier with customizable scaling, enabling players to fine-tune challenge levels. Several key interface and gameplay tweaks are highlighted: - Characters are now visually highlighted at low HP, aiding player awareness in the heat of battle. - The Focus bar UI has been split, delivering greater readability and clarity. - Special damage numbers now display in red for easier identification during intense combat sequences. - The Heteropteron Level’s Larva Bug enemy has received animation updates and new color cycling effects to enhance visibility and engagement. Boss Fight Balancing Balancing adjustments have also been implemented for multiple boss encounters to ensure more fair and engaging matches.
Notably: - Hela’s Grudge and Hellblades attacks now have increased cooldowns. - Venom exhibits fewer block and parry actions, a removed combo parry, and longer reaction windows, with a reduction in his Bite attack damage. - Phyla-Vell's defensive efficacy has been reduced with less frequent block actions and Cosmic Attack usage, plus extended cooldowns on key abilities. Continued Support and Nintendo Switch Experience Since its debut, Marvel Cosmic Invasion has received continued support from Tribute Games and Dotemu, reinforcing their commitment to delivering fresh content and community-requested updates.
The game's consistent presence on the Nintendo Switch eShop underscores its popularity among fans of Marvel and indie brawlers. Players can explore the full patch notes and a comprehensive list of bug fixes by visiting the official Marvel Cosmic Invasion Steam Page or Dotemu’s YouTube channel.
With this new update, Marvel Cosmic Invasion cements itself as a must-play for Marvel enthusiasts seeking both classic and contemporary experiences on Nintendo Switch and other leading gaming platforms.
