Arguably the highlight of today's Nintendo Direct March 2025 event was Marvel Cosmic Invasion, which is a brand-new beat 'em up that's coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S at some point later this year.

This game is being developed by the same team behind the excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, and features the same style of side-scrolling gameplay that you'd expect, complete with what's described as "an incredible array of characters spanning Marvel’s golden eras".

Specifically, the characters that have been revealed for Marvel Cosmic Invasion so far are Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom and Nova. That's apparently just the "first set" of reveals as well!

We'll drop some more details about the game below, along with a few screenshots. There's no release date for Marvel Cosmic Invasion on Xbox or any other platform yet, but we know for sure that it's coming at some point in 2025.

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.
