We’re back today with another out-of-this-world update, bringing you bug fixes, gameplay tweaks and collaborations with some of our favourite MARVEL Games titles. As a tribute, we’re bringing in new palettes from SIX fan-favourite adventures, in addition to squishing more bugs within our own MARVEL Cosmic Invasion.
Jump into the fight NOW, Super Heroes, to find…
Epic MARVEL Games Collaborations!
We’re bringing in tributes to our favourite MARVEL Games experiences, including palettes for:
MARVEL Rivals - Spider-Man and Venom
MARVEL Snap - Black Panther and Rocket Raccoon
MARVEL Strike Force - She-Hulk and Wolverine
MARVEL Future Fight - Captain America and Nova
MARVEL Contest of Champions - Phyla-Vell and Beta Ray Bill
MARVEL Puzzle Quest - Storm and Iron Man
New Features!
Hero Lab Upgrades - with new palette previews to help you get a great view of new cosmetic options, and a new Team Level indicator.
Tweaked Arcade Modifiers - swinging into danger with modifications. The Double HP modifier is now an HP Multiplier - where enemy HP can now be multiplied by 0.5, 1, 2 or 3 times their standard amount!
Gameplay Improvements!
We’ve made a number of visual changes based on your feedback, designed to make it easier for you to keep up with the on-screen action, including:
Heroes will now be highlighted when HP is low
The Focus bar has been split to make it easier to read
Special Damage number visuals have been changed to red - making them easier to identify
The Heteropteron Level Larva Bug has been tweaked to make the enemy stand out. In addition, we’ve added flashes on the Larva during throw animations and introduced colour cycling effects on the attack!
We’ve also taken some time to go back for further balancing on boss fights, tweaking these to provide a little more fair play:
Hela - Increasing cooldowns for both Grudge and Hellblades attacks.
Venom - Reducing block and parry actions and removing combo parry, increasing reaction cooldown, lowering damage on the Bite attack and removing some post-Grudge attacks.
Phyla-Vell - Reducing block actions and lowering chance of using Cosmic Attack. We’ve also added cooldown on some attacks, increased the cooldown on cosmic Fury and lengthened the initial block action to prevent instant parry.

We’ve fixed missing subtitles for Spider-Man’s first post-Annihilus battle dialogue

We’ve fixed an issue where move lists were displaying incorrectly in multiplayer, if Player One was using a keyboard
We’ve also had a chat with Hela to ensure she doesn’t get bored and go idle if host players leave a multiplayer game during the fight

Super Heroes! What an incredible launch day we had, and we wanted to get a big thank you out to you for your out-of-this-world support. The team at Tribute Games have been fighting their own battle against the bugs, and we've got some fixes on their way to you right now!
Fixes!
Heteropteron Blocker - We’ve fixed an issue where having camera shake effects OFF would stop the cinematic from triggering, keeping Super Heroes trapped in Stage 13
Multiplayer Crashing - We’ve fixed an issue where joining a multi-player game session and resetting story progress would trigger a crash
Enemy Cheating! - We’ve fixed an issue where Master Mold would become invulnerable and non-targetable, which if anything was just rude
Venom Issues - We’ve fixed issues where Venom could become frozen after being parried during Symbiote Pounce or immediately lose armor during Venom Bite
Upgrade Blocking - We’ve fixed an issue that would mean Super Heroes’ stats did not upgrade after levelling up unless players returned to the main menu.
Enemy Superpowers - We’ve fixed an issue where enemies would deal abnormally high damage on their first hit during a grab
Annihilus Invulnerability - We’ve fixed an issue (and related issues) where Annihilus wouldn’t re-enter the staggered/vulnerable state and players couldn’t deal damage
Where’s Hela?! - Fixed an issue where Hela could de-synchronise while teleporting
Annihilus Forever! - We fixed an issue where Annihilus wouldn’t stop attacking after his shield breaks
Multiplayer Connections - Fixed an issue which could cause problems when the host disconnects while Super Heroes are joining a lobby (this should now simply return you to the multiplayer menu)
Reigning in She-Hulk - Option now added to have controller shake only for players controlling the character (meaning that She-Hulk’s controller vibration only happens for the player controlling her)
Cosmic Hold On What?! - We’ve fixed an issue where Super Heroes would sometimes be swapped when respawning
At Least Credit Me - The character who threw the enemy will now be considered the instigator when determining who gets credit for knocking down an assembly line bomb
Cosmic Stability - We’ve deployed some additional protection for lobby stability when players reach Game Over in Arcade Mode
Interrogating the Vampire - We’ve fixed an issue which prevented Super Heroes from using the Vampire modifier in Arcade Mode
Choose your character! - We've fixed the issue with the characters' order in character select for Steam Deck and Linux. That should fix the online desync/crashs between Steam Deck and other versions
Smaller Fixes
Fixed an issue where intro music was used instead of main stage music where players joined later in Stage 2 (Genosha)
Fixed MODOK’s movement and behaviours (quite a lot of fixes here, actually)
Tweaked Beta Ray Bill’s no-hammer attack to ensure it doesn’t register as a multi attack
Fixed an issue where some enemies would do multiple hits instead of the expected one hit attack
Fixed an issue where enemies would walk without actually moving
Tweaked visuals to stop the OK / Back popup appearing while fading out.
Negative Blast now automatically faces the center of the screen
Worm enemies will now animate properly when turning to face their enemies
The Mission Select timer should now count down correctly in Arcade Mode
We’ve fixed an issue where players could immediately spawn in a pit when joining a mid-session lobby
Cancelling character selection will not reset the selected skin
Fixed visual glitching during tally and post-boss cutscenes
Fixed Super Heroes appearing multiple times when confronting Annihilus
Fixed an issue where Annihilus would play an incorrect animation following the Negative Wave attack
Fixed an issue where egg spawners would not always appear in the correct state
Fixed an issue where Bug Barricade dealt multiple attacks and a huge amount of damage
Fixed online synchronisation issues related to Sentry Laser and Statue
Fixed small graphical shadow errors
Fixed a challenge completion issue related to multi-hit tasks
Another huge thank you to all of the Super Heroes who have jumped into MARVEL Cosmic Invasion. Whatever platform you are on, your support means everything, and your feedback is critical to making the cosmos the best it can be, and pushing Annihilus back into the Negative Zone!
We’ll squash those bugs, together! Please keep getting your feedback and bug reports in to the team. A cosmic battle awaits!
