What is the Marvel Rivals x Marvel Cosmic Invasion collaboration?

What is the Marvel Rivals x Marvel Cosmic Invasion collaboration?

Marvel Rivals stands out from most other similar games by releasing all sorts of awesome cosmetics for its ever-increasing roster of playable heroes. While it hasn’t done this much before, the game is now slated to bring two unique costumes from a different Marvel game into the mix.

The game Marvel Rivals is collaborating with is Marvel Cosmic Invasion, a beat 'em up game developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu. The collaboration is in the form of two awesome costumes for Spider-Man and Venom.

Here’s everything to know about the Marvel Rivals [1] x Marvel Cosmic Invasion collaboration, including what it brings and when it starts.

What’s in the Marvel Rivals x Marvel Cosmic Invasion collaboration?

A menacing monster character in digital art style.

The Marvel Rivals x Marvel Cosmic Invasion collaboration brings two awesome skins to Marvel Rivals, with both of them being based on Marvel Cosmic Invasion. The first skin is for Spider-Man, while the second one is for Venom.

Those who have played Marvel Cosmic Invasion will likely know that the game’s graphics are very strongly inspired by retro arcade games. Because of this, the two skins coming to Marvel Rivals are also 8-bit. Some players have also started the joke that their characters already look like that on the PS4 because of the blurry visuals compared to the PS5 and strong PCs.

The Spider-Man skin is just how most would expect it to be, with the skin taking a much more retro look. The actual Spider-Man costume is extremely faithful to the classic costume, making many comment that this is the closest to the classic costume players will get in Marvel Rivals.

As for Venom, he’s also the exact same as in his base model, but with retro visuals. One nice touch of detail that players added is that the skin has the classic Venom “Chomp” sound that the villain is known for making in arcade games. 

Of course, one look at the skins is enough for anyone to tell that their FPS are supposed to imitate playing the characters on retro machines. Because of this, inspiring the characters results in them performing their idle animations in what seems to be low FPS, which is a nice touch too.
