Tribute Games, the studio behind this upcoming Marvel mashup, has been quietly building a reputation for crafting retro-inspired gems. Founded in 2011, they’ve delivered titles like Wizorb, Mercenary Kings, and the critically acclaimed TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Their signature style blends classic gameplay with a distinct artistic flair.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is poised to be another jewel in their crown, arriving on December 1st for cloud, console, handheld, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. No waiting, no hoping – just instant access to some cosmic chaos.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion isn’t just another superhero game. It’s a love letter to the entire Marvel Universe, drawing inspiration from every corner of its vast lore. Players will brawl their way through hordes of enemies across diverse planets and dimensions.
Confirmed characters include X-Men heavyweights like Storm and Wolverine, alongside iconic figures such as Spider-Man and Venom. This isn’t limited to the MCU or a specific comic book run – it’s a truly cosmic roster, as the title suggests.

Having had a chance to play a demo, the progression and unlock systems show clear improvements over even Shredder’s Revenge. Tribute Games seems to be refining their formula, offering a deeper and more rewarding experience.
Whether you’re a die-hard beat ’em up fan or simply a Marvel aficionado, Marvel Cosmic Invasion promises to be a blast. The day-one Game Pass release on December 1st makes it an easy and compelling way to dive into this pixelated punch-fest.
The arrival of Marvel Cosmic Invasion raises an interesting question: could this be the start of a broader push for more diverse genres on Xbox Game Pass? If successful, it could pave the way for other indie developers to bring their unique visions to a wider audience, enriching the gaming landscape for everyone.
