Alright, players, brace yourselves since the Marvel Cosmic Invasion would be released in a week. The official Marvel Cosmic Invasion account has announced the news and is inquiring if the players are ready to battle the Annihilation Wave, which is lethal, and from the replies, the enthusiasm is indeed present, but the questions also exist. To be precise, a lot of questions.
So, what is the game? Its references are the grand Annihilation comic book storyline that Marvel has created, particularly in the cosmic area. It was a major event that even then could not be contained and was capable of annihilating the universe. It is the kind of thing that would involve characters like Nova, Beta Ray Bill, and She-Hulk all mentioned in replies as being very excited about seeing their names alongside that of deep cuts for the hardcore Marvel fans. The developers, it seems, are ardently catering to a very particular experience.
Despite the very close launch date, the community is divided between the total excitement and the very serious concerns. The foremost one? The price. It is on everyone’s mind. User Jbruno182 did not miss the chance to pose the question, ‘Where is the prices? 🙃’. They had company. The replies were overflowing with users in the likes of sonicverse6 and BroDABz arguing what the price should be. One user said ‘$40 at most,’ while another stated ‘no more than $20 honestly…’. Then a third person joined in with ‘$25 is max lmao’. The matter of pricing is thus a source of significant contention before the game is even up for grabs. Another player, LowkeyGandalf, very aptly put it: ‘I hope you guys won’t f up the price. I really wanna play this game. I’ll be waiting nervously till the price is announced’. That is precisely the sentiment. The price tag is literally holding the anticipation hostage.
Next, concerns have arisen regarding the platform. LordChaos74 wanted to know when pre-ordering would be possible for Xbox, indicating that it was only appearing on Game Pass Ultimate. MagumoKawasaki had a clear request for the developers asking if they could ‘toss us the achivements list for the game before it releases?’ This is the type of thing that matters for gamers. They are already stacking up their gaming sessions, their 100% runs and they need that info.
Lastly, the character requests are coming in nonstop. This is a Marvel game, after all. Players are already asking for their favorites. The user akus_1985 is almost ‘begging’ for Rogue to be a part of the future. The user genestorm just simply said ‘Cyclops please’ with a fire emoji. Some even go as far as suggesting voice actors for future DLC, like dcb99the937god suggesting Martin Roach for Blade. The fervor is undeniable and it shows that gamers have an incredibly close connection with these characters. They are not merely pixels on a monitor—they are the very heroes of our childhoods.
A little bit of skepticism from the gaming community has brought up a point on the price question again. BroDABz joked saying that the game would ‘be only 2 hours long! 🤣’, which resulted in a mini banter on the length and quality of the game. It’s a classic concern—will it be a substantial, satisfying experience or just a quick overpriced letdown?
Oh, and just for the physical media fans: Crush40Freak89 hinted that they would be ‘gonna wait for the physical release next year’. So, if you are among those collectors who want the box on the shelf, you might have to wait a bit longer, but eventually, it will be there.
It is a bit funny to witness surprise moments, like Tempest525 being shocked that ‘OMG 😱 Spider-Man is on Xbox! 🤣’. It could be regarded as a minor point but it actually shows how the platform exclusivity of characters has led to us being surprised when a character is not exclusive to the platform anymore, and we can actually see them somewhere else.
Thus, with just one week left, everything is set. The Marvel Cosmic Invasion is going to bring us one of the most significant cosmic battles, where Marvel’s most dangerous threats will be the villains. The players are sure to be ready, they have their wish lists, wallets packed with money but also a lot of ‘please don’t mess this up’ anxiety. The one-week countdown has begun, and the community has placed all their focus on them, waiting to see if this invasion is worthy of enlistment. It is going to be a collective discovery very soon, so get ready with your cosmic powers, guys.
