Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 is a side-scrolling, pixel-art beat ’em up developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu together with Marvel Games. It launched on 1 December 2025. You pick two heroes per level from a roster of 15, switch between them mid-fight with the Cosmic Swap system, and fight from New York City to the Negative Zone to stop Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave, alone or with up to three friends.

What Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 Is
Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 is a classic arcade-style brawler: you walk through a level, crowds of enemies come at you, and you clear them with combos, grabs and special attacks. Dotemu calls it a love letter to the Marvel Universe, and PlayStation describes its retro art direction as a tribute to Marvel’s iconic eras. The pixel art is not a budget shortcut; it is the whole look of the game.
The story is simple and fits the genre. Annihilus, whom Dotemu calls “the living death that walks”, launches an attack across the galaxy with the Annihilation Wave, and the heroes have to push it back level by level.
Cosmic Swap: Two Heroes Per Level
The feature that separates Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 from older brawlers is Cosmic Swap. Before each level you choose two heroes, and during the fight you can switch between them instantly. Dotemu says the swap lets you create unique combos and powerful special attacks, so a combo can start with one hero and finish with the other.
That makes the pairing a real decision. A fast close-range hero paired with one who controls space gives you options that a single character would not, and PlayStation describes the result as creative team-ups and a more tactical approach to the action.
The 15 Playable Heroes
PlayStation lists 15 playable heroes in Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5: Spider-Man, Wolverine, She-Hulk, Captain America, Phoenix, Black Panther, Storm, Iron Man, Rocket Raccoon, Beta Ray Bill, Venom, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Nova, Phyla-Vell and Silver Surfer.
The mix leans cosmic: alongside the famous names you get Nova, Phyla-Vell, Beta Ray Bill and Cosmic Ghost Rider, which suits a story built around Annihilus. Dotemu has also released downloadable content; its press kit lists Cyclops and The Thing in the first pack, dated 18 May 2026, with a second pack planned for autumn 2026. Those are not part of the base game on this disc.
Co-op for Up to Four Players
Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 supports 1–4 players offline on one console and up to four players online, according to PlayStation’s UAE page. Dotemu describes a drop-in/drop-out adaptive system, so a friend can join or leave a session without restarting the level.
Online play requires a PlayStation Plus subscription, sold separately. Local co-op on one PS5 does not, but each extra local player needs their own controller.
Languages and Rating
PlayStation’s UAE page lists English voices for the PS5 version, with on-screen text in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Spanish (Mexico) and Ukrainian. Arabic is not listed for Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5.
Dotemu lists a PEGI 12 rating, and PlayStation’s UAE page shows IARC 12+ for moderate violence. It is a cartoon-style superhero brawler without gore.
Who This Is Not For
Arabic-speaking players who need Arabic menus: Marvel Cosmic Invasion PS5 does not list Arabic text. Players who want a long open-world or story-heavy superhero game will find this a different kind of game – it is an arcade brawler built around levels, replays and co-op.
If you mainly want to play online with friends in other homes, remember that each of you needs PlayStation Plus. And Cyclops and The Thing are downloadable content, not part of the 15 heroes on the disc.
