PARIS (Sept. 17, 2025) – MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, the arcade-style tag-team beat ‘em up celebrating the golden eras of classic MARVEL storylines and entertainment, gained two additional playable characters today. Publisher Dotemu (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge) and Tribute Games (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Scott Pilgrim EX) revealed the duo in a hard-hitting trailer ahead of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion’s release later this year on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox.

These uniquely powerful fighters debut through striking hand-drawn animation embodying the classic comic book worlds MARVEL Cosmic Invasion pays homage to, as well as through all-new gameplay:
- Cosmic Ghost Rider, a deadly incarnation of the Punisher who was transformed after signing a pact to avenge Earth’s devastation at the hands of Thanos. Wielding devastating chains, firearms and his spectacular Hell cycle, Cosmic Ghost Rider pulls out every stop to decimate his enemies while roaring across spaceways.
- Celebrated voice actor Brian Bloom will bring the out-of-this-world adaptation of the Rider to life in MARVEL Cosmic Invasion.
- Black Panther, the stalwart leader of Wakanda, dashes into battle wearing King T’Challa’s vibranium-enhanced suit and sonic daggers. With peerless martial arts skills and strength, he’ll pounce on any threat or foe foolish enough to challenge him.
- James Mathis III will reprise his role as the voice of Black Panther following his work within Marvel Rivals and the Avengers Assemble animated series.

In MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, the immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it. Super Heroes, both Earth-born and cosmic, must now join forces in a star-spanning adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave. 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 in classically inspired side-scrolling combat.
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 power-ups 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 Super Villains), and supports four-player drop-in/drop-out local and online co-op with crossplay.
Cosmic Ghost Rider and Black Panther join the previously revealed playable characters Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom, Nova, She-Hulk, Rocket Raccoon, Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer. MARVEL Cosmic Invasion’s incredible lineup is brought to life through full voice acting and will feature 15 playable fighters; which characters will be revealed as the roster’s final two members?
