Dotemu and Tribute Games just dropped a cosmic-sized reveal at Summer Game Fest 2025 — She-Hulk and Rocket Raccoon are officially joining the playable roster in the upcoming retro-style brawler MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, launching later this year on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Set against the backdrop of a galaxy under siege, the newly revealed trailer delivers hard-hitting, comic book-inspired action as these two fan-favorite characters bash through waves of cosmic chaos.
💥 She-Hulk and Rocket Raccoon Join the Fight
Presented in vibrant, hand-drawn pixel art that channels the golden age of Marvel Comics, the trailer highlights the newest additions to the 15-character roster:
- She-Hulk slams into combat with raw, gamma-charged brawling — ditching her legal briefs for body slams and overhead tosses.
- Rocket Raccoon, armed to the teeth with futuristic firepower, lobs grenades and rapid-fires his way through enemies as one of the game’s most unpredictable fighters.
The duo teams up against heavy-hitting foes like Sentinels, Sauron, and even Thanos, teasing high-stakes cosmic battles that comic fans and arcade lovers alike won’t want to miss.
