Marvel Cosmic Invasion opening movie

Dotemu and Tribute Games are giving Marvel Cosmic Invasion fans another taste of the game with the opening movie (or animation). This will play on the initial boot. All of the game’s playable characters get their own spotlight.

As a reminder, here’s what to expect from the title:

In Marvel Cosmic Invasion, the immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it. Fighters, both Earth-born and cosmic, must now join forces in a star-spanning adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave. Choosing from a unique roster of characters, brawl through the streets of New York City all the way to the depths of the Negative Zone to foil Annihilus’ vow to spread death across the cosmos with the help of Thanos, M.O.D.O.K, Taskmaster and more devious allies.

Defend the cosmos with a 15-hero playable roster, fighting as Captain America, She-Hulk, Rocket Racoon, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, Nova, Black Panther, Beta Ray Bill, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, Phoenix or Invincible Iron Man. Marvel Cosmic Invasion gives players an incredible variety of skills and styles to mix and match as they traverse across the cosmos in a star-spanning adventure.

Choose and control your own team of two characters while tagging between them mid-fight with the innovative Cosmic Swap system, capitalizing on distinct superpowers and special attacks to create unique team-ups and dish out devastating damage.

Unlock stellar powerups and rewards while experimenting with different duos and bash through a fantastic collection of locales and nemeses from the Marvel universe. Marvel Cosmic Invasion‘s action includes a range of accessibility features, empowering the whole family to be Super Heroes (or Villains) and supports four player drop-in/drop-out local and online co-op with crossplay.

After setting the bar for arcade-inspired beat ’em ups with the acclaimed, multimillion-selling smash hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Dotemu and Tribute Games modernize the timeless fun of brawlers with exciting tag-team fighting and a multi-era celebration of the most iconic comic book universe. Marvel Cosmic Invasion embodies the spirit of classic Marvel character designs and delivers thrilling action that’d look right at home in an arcade cabinet.
