Marvel Cosmic Invasion Adds Cyclops and The Thing in First Paid DLC

The $3.99 surprise drop signals a fall update featuring a new mode with more heroes.

Overview

  • The DLC bundle, which launched Monday, adds two playable heroes to the arcade-style beat ’em up and is live on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC via Steam for $3.99.
  • Cyclops joins as a ranged specialist whose optic blasts fire at diagonal angles to pick off flying enemies and control space across the screen.
  • The Thing arrives as a grappling bruiser with high durability and a bounce-heavy aerial attack that lets him roll through crowds and close gaps fast.
  • Tribute Games also pushed a small patch alongside the characters that fixes crashes and balance issues, including tweaks to bosses and enemy behaviors.
  • Dotemu says the game has reached about 1.5 million players, with a second DLC set for Fall 2026 that will add a new game mode and more playable characters.
