Marvel Cosmic Invasion is set to get two new DLC packs this year, with the first adding X-Men’s Cyclops and Fantastic Four’s The Thing as playable characters, and available now for $3.99. According to publisher DotEmu, Marvel Cosmic Invasion has had “more than 1.5 million players” and has been well received by players, especially on Steam, where the pixel art brawler holds a 88% positive rating. The second update, due for release later in 2026, will include an all-new game mode as well as more playable characters being added to the growing roster.
The Thing: The Fantastic Four’s heaviest hitter brings his cosmic radiation-induced might to the fray, excelling in Marvel Cosmic Invasion as a grappling-focused powerhouse. With surprising mobility allowing him to bounce across environments to get the jump on enemies, this former ace pilot embraces his new role as a tanklike protector of family and allies alike, arriving as an incredible asset to any team.
Cyclops: The no-nonsense leader of the X-Men and one of the most-requested additions by fans, Cyclops blasts into battle to make quick work of foes with his signature kinetic energy beams. Cyclops’ optic blasts can also be shot diagonally, providing an excellent counter for aerial enemies – and opportunities to catch opponents off guard.
