Marvel Cosmic Invasion

If you were starting to think that MARVEL Cosmic Invasion has been rather quiet since it impressed us last year, we’ve got some good news for you.

A new trailer (showcased below) has just dropped, announcing the addition of two new DLC characters who you’re definitely going to want to add to your collection. First off is Cyclops, the X-Men’s fearless leader, who makes use of his optic blasts to control the space around him quite efficiently. He comes highly recommended as a viable option against enemies who like to attack from above.

Joining Cyclops is The Thing, the former pilot and current tank for the Fantastic Four. His imposing size belies his agility, and he’s quite dangerous up close with grappling moves that can devastate opponents if you play your cards right. A versatile pairing, you can see how well he works with She-Hulk in the trailer. We’re already thinking about all the synergies we could dig up with characters from the base game.

Cyclops and The Thing are part of a new $3.99 DLC bundle that’s available now. Tribute Games also announced that it would add two more playable characters this year, alongside a brand new game mode. Stay tuned for more details on when they’ll drop.
