Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a rollicking good time of a brawler. Released last December, the Tribute Games adventure features an eclectic cast of Marvel heroes to choose from. There are characters you’d expect, like Iron Man and Spider-Man, and others you might not, like Beta Ray Bill and Nova. Still, for as solid as the roster was at launch, there’s alway room for more when it comes to superheroes, especially Marvel’s pantheon. Thankfully, it looks like the list of fighters has grown by two with the introduction of Cyclops and the Thing to the game as DLC. Take a look:
This DLC one pack retails for $3.99 and can be downloaded from the Nintendo Switch eShop right now. Let’s get into what it has to offer:
- DLC 1 – Cyclops & The Thing – Launching Today on All Platforms for $3.99
- The Thing: The Fantastic Four’s heaviest hitter brings his cosmic radiation-induced might to the fray, excelling in MARVEL Cosmic Invasion as a grappling-focused powerhouse. With surprising mobility allowing him to bounce across environments to get the jump on enemies, this former ace pilot embraces his new role as a tanklike protector of family and allies alike, arriving as an incredible asset to any team.
- Cyclops: The no-nonsense leader of the X-Men and one of the most-requested additions by fans, Cyclops blasts into battle to make quick work of foes with his signature kinetic energy beams. Cyclops’ optic blasts can also be shot diagonally, providing an excellent counter for aerial enemies – and opportunities to catch opponents off guard.
Dotemu has also filled us in on DLC 2, which will launch this fall:
- DLC 2 – Launching Fall 2026
- An all-new game mode offering fresh challenges for MARVEL Cosmic Invasion’s Super Heroes (and Villains!) will be revealed later this year alongside even more playable characters ready to join the battle against Annihilus. Keep your Super Hero senses sharp for updates!
With characters like Thor, Black Widow, the rest of the Fantastic Four, and many others unaccounted for, there’s no telling who might show up this autumn. Why not share your theories with us down below and on social media?
