Marvel Cosmic Invasion Adds Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill to Roster

Publisher Dotemu (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge) and Tribute Games (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Panzer Paladin) thrilled fans at San Diego Comic-Con by revealing the next duo joining the playable character roster of Marvel Cosmic Invasion. The arcade-style beat ’em up featuring a variety of Marvel characters launches in 2025 for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC.

As unveiled during the “MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Deep Dive – A Nostalgia Driven Approach to Your Favorite Characters” panel, two newcomers debuted in a trailer with stunning comic-book-quality animation, alongside a first glimpse of the fighters in action:

• Silver Surfer, a metallic-skinned humanoid alien from the Fantastic Four series. Imbued with the Power Cosmic, this herald of Galactus can stagger opponents while effortlessly gliding through skies, making escape impossible for insectoid invaders.
• Beta Ray Bill, a fan-favorite powerhouse recognized by Thor as a true ally. This half-cyborg, half-Korbinite wields his devastating hammer Stormbreaker, crushing entire insect battalions in his path.

Emphasizing MARVEL Cosmic Invasion’s team-battle spirit, Tribute Games delivered a second stage surprise: the game will feature full voice acting for playable characters and key figures in its intergalactic narrative. Brian Bloom, Trevor Devall, and Elysia Rotaru joined the panel as special guests post-announcement.

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion features vocal performances by:

• Brian Bloom (Captain America, Silver Surfer)
• Steve Blum (Venom, Beta Ray Bill)
• Trevor Devall (Rocket Raccoon)
• Cal Dodd (Wolverine)
• Josh Keaton (Spider-Man)
• Matt Mercer (Nova, Annihilus)
• Aileen Mythen (Phyla-Vell)
• Elysia Rotaru (She-Hulk)
• Alison Sealy-Smith (Storm)

In Marvel Cosmic Invasion, immortal super-villain Annihilus launches an unprecedented galaxy-wide assault, threatening all known life. Earth-born and cosmic superheroes must unite in a stellar battle against the deadly Annihilation Wave.
