Is Marvel Cosmic Invasion cross-platform?
Does Marvel Cosmic Invasion have cross-platform support?
Yes, Marvel Cosmic Invasion does indeed have cross-platform support. Featuring a roster of 15 heroes from across the Marvel universe, players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC can enjoy drop-in, drop-out co-op regardless of platform. Even though Marvel Cosmic Invasion does feature a unique tag system where each player can swap between two heroes, this is a game that is best enjoyed with friends working together and pulling off heroic combos on the enemies. You can still enjoy the game alone, but you shouldn't have to thanks to it being available on both current and last-gen consoles.

There has been no official word on whether Marvel Cosmic Invasion has any form of cross-progression, but my instincts tell me it will not. There doesn't appear to be much to unlock or progress to carry over in this game since all the characters are readily available so I don't know what there even would be to move between platforms. Of course, if I learn a definitive answer to this question I will update this article so you won't be surprised when you pick the game up.

Animated ‘Eyes of Wakanda' is a worthy, but too short, addition to the MCU
Marvel Studios has always prided itself on being a universe of interlocking stories, but one of the quieter strengths of Disney's superhero factory has been the ability to pivot into new and different genres while keeping the connective tissue intact. That was true when 'Guardians of the Galaxy' introduced space opera into the mix and again when 'WandaVision' flirted with sitcom surrealism in the aftermath of 'Avengers: Endgame.' With 'Eyes of Wakanda,' Marvel has a new animated anthology of four half-hour episodes that feels both impressively expansive and disappointingly fleeting, even as it spans millennia. It's a lavishly realized glimpse into a corner of the MCU, executive-produced by 'Black Panther' director (and Oakland native) Ryan Coogler and developed by veteran Marvel storyboard artist Todd Harris, but each episode's brevity works against the whole. While the Dora Milaje — the warrior bodyguards led by Danai Gurira's Okoye — have become mainstays of Wakanda's onscreen mythology, the spotlight here is on the War Dogs: deep-cover operatives tasked with recovering stolen artifacts and safeguarding Wakanda's secrets. The series uses these missions as narrative waypoints, jumping from 1260 B.C. to the 19th century to lend new context to important historical and mythological moments. If that sounds like a setup rife with possibilities, it is. And therein lies both the show's appeal and its frustration. Each episode introduces new characters, establishes the mission at hand and then wraps before the audience has had time to form much of a connection. This isn't entirely the fault of the storytelling, of course. A show spanning thousands of years is bound to rely on thematic rather than character continuity. Still, the result is an experience that's rich in scope but emotionally thin. What's on offer, however, is undeniably striking. The animation eschews the cel-shaded hybrid look of the recently concluded 'What If…?' in favor of lush backgrounds, painterly compositions and action sequences that often resemble moving concept art. Harris' history as a visual artist shows in every frame. From windswept battlefields to shadowy palaces, the rich visual palette grounds the fantasy in Coogler's live-action films while still establishing its own aesthetic identity. The voice cast also rises to the occasion, including Cress Williams as the Lion — a rogue War Dog whose betrayal sets the series' central conflict and mission into motion — and Winnie Harlow as Noni, a former Dora Milajae tasked with stopping him. Throughout the season, we also hear strong work from Larry Herron, Lynn Whitfield and Gary Anthony Williams, among others. Of course, for MCU obsessives, the ties to the broader Marvel mythology are always half the fun. Without giving too much away, the series introduces a new iteration of Iron Fist (Jona Xiao) bound to overshadow the execrable Netflix version. At the same time, the finale neatly lays out plot threads that reframe aspects of the 'Black Panther' mythology. In that respect, 'Eyes of Wakanda' mirrors the best of Marvel's one-shots: supplemental material enriching the story's larger world while carving out its own identity. In this instance, the scale and ambition hint at a series that could and should be much larger. Ultimately, that's the paradox of 'Eyes of Wakanda.' In an era where Marvel projects are routinely dinged for being too long, here's one that's not long enough — that's over just as it feels like it's finding its rhythm. That may not be the worst problem, but it does mean this debut season plays more like a prologue than the next great chapter of the MCU. Zaki Hasan is a freelance writer.

Monster Hunter Wilds players now have 8 fan-made weapon designs to vote on, and if the shattered mirror Great Sword doesn't win, what are we even doing here folks?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Capcom is giving Monster Hunter Wilds players the option to vote on fan-made designs for gear. The latest entry in the series has some great weapon designs of its own, but Capcom clearly isn't too fussed about accuracy as the fans have come up with some truly sick weapons – and I'm now bummed out we can't have all eight of the finalists. You can check them out on the Monster Hunter website. Among the top eight entries is a Hammer titled the "Singularity Divider," which features a black hole inside of it that expands as you charge your swing; this feels in-line with the Hammer buffs as of late. Then, the Khu'Azarax, Edge of Oblivion also sports the black hole motif, and with a name like that, you know it's a Long Sword – truly the most edgelord weapon. It's not all gloomy though, as there's an unnamed Charge Blade concept among the top eight entries that is frankly adorable – it's a scaled-up version of the Spiral Heart Moon Rod from Sailor Moon in Axe form, with the shield being a big heart. But I think the most inspired weapon design comes from the sole Insect Glaive, which features a lantern motif with a melted candle blade and replaces the Kinsect with a little bedsheet ghost that has its own candle. I'm in love with this design, but given it's for the Insect Glaive, I don't see it winning, sadly. Finally, there's my personal favourite design, for my personal favourite weapon: the Shatterseal Greatsword takes the form of a shattered, full-length mirror on a stick, and as the hunter charges it up, the shattered pieces form a full mirror. The concept design also features a unique hit animation that has the area surrounding the attack apply a shattered glass effect. It's by far the coolest design in there if you ask me, and one I'd love to see take the throne… but something tells me the Long Sword is winning no matter what. Capcom admits Monster Hunter Wilds sales are "soft" as PC issues persist, but really they've plummeted – barely beating 2021's Monster Hunter Rise and losing to 8 other old games including Devil May Cry 5.

Sega hands physical media a win amid Nintendo's push toward digital with Switch 2 game-key cards — Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is confirmed to have "the full base game on a 64GB cartridge"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sega has confirmed that the physical version of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on Switch 2 will be a normal old 64GB cartridge like the good old days. There's been some question as to whether Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' physical Switch 2 copy would come with one of those lame game-key cards that don't actually have the game data on them, but instead a "key" to download the game onto your system via the internet. Basically, it's akin to buying the physical version of a game, opening the case, and seeing a slip of paper with a key to redeem online. Something of a hybrid of digital and physical media, essentially. Anyway, game-key cards have been controversial from the day they were revealed, but that hasn't stopped major publishers like Square Enix, Warner Bros. Games, and yes, Sega, from opting for game-key cards instead of traditional physical media. This trend, coupled with seemingly misleading messaging from Sega customer support a few weeks back, has led to a whole lot of speculation that the Switch 2 version of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will ship on a game-key card. Not so! In an FAQ on Sega's website, it's confirmed in no uncertain terms: "The physical version will feature the full base game on a 64GB cartridge." Sega also confirmed that the digital Switch 2 version is launching in Holiday 2025, while the physical version is due out "early 2026." There will be a standard version for $70 and the Digital Deluxe Edition for $90 that'll come with the season pass, a bunch of DLC, and 72 hours of early access. Veteran Sonic producer says Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds team completely removed items from the game if they were too "stressful" or let players "win all the time"
