After months of speculation, footage allegedly showcasing a new Marvel-themed mobile game codenamed “Project Comet” has surfaced online, complete with what appears to be an early trailer. The leak began spreading through a now-deleted X post from user MultiverSusie, which displayed in-game animations and concept art for the apparent gacha title, before being amplified by a more recent video that seems to show actual gameplay footage posted on Bilibili and subsequently reposted on YouTube.
The leaked video features well-known Marvel characters including Scarlet Witch, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange engaging in combat against enemies. Observers have quickly noted how closely the visual style resembles Marvel Rivals, the popular team-based shooter from Blizzard. The gameplay appears to follow an action RPG structure with cooldowns and real-time combat mechanics similar to those found in Genshin Impact. A description accompanying the Bilibili video referenced “collectible Marvel characters,” further supporting the theory that this is a gacha-style game requiring players to spend in-game currency rolling for new roster additions.
Suspicious Details Raise Questions
While several elements of the trailer appear authentic, certain technical issues have prompted caution among viewers. The audio seems completely off, featuring an awkward voice-over and de-synced sound effects that suggest unfinished production work. Additionally, the video ends abruptly rather than concluding cleanly, reinforcing the impression that this was a work in progress being tested internally.
The overlap with previous leaks lends credence to the video being legit, especially after Project Comet reportedly recruited beta testers four months ago.
X user Miller Ross
According to X user Miller Ross, who flagged the earlier recruitment efforts, the project was actively seeking beta testers four months ago. This timeline aligns with the developmental state suggested by the trailer’s technical shortcomings.
Roster and Platform Details Emerge
The original leak from MultiverSusie reportedly outlined a twelve-character roster for Project Comet, listing Captain America, Elektra, War Machine, Invisible Woman, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Juggernaut, Doc Ock, Quicksilver, Beast, and Thor. These names would represent the initial playable lineup should the game proceed to release.
Further details have emerged from a Scopely job posting highlighted by X user and reporter Sarge, suggesting that Project Comet is being developed as a free-to-play, open-world adventure title featuring crossplay between PC and mobile platforms. This information would significantly expand the game’s potential audience beyond its initially reported Android and iOS availability.
Who Is Behind the Game
Project Comet is allegedly being developed by Scopely, a video game company backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). The studio has undergone significant changes recently; in 2025, Scopely acquired Niantic, the developer behind Pokémon Go and Pikmin Bloom, in a deal valued at $3.5 billion.
The PIF’s involvement places Project Comet within a broader context of Saudi Arabia’s growing presence in entertainment and gaming. Many observers have interpreted the fund’s recent focus on gaming as an effort by the Saudi Arabian government to improve its global standing through investments in golf leagues and video games, shifting associations away from concerns about human rights violations. In August alone, the PIF finalized its $55 billion purchase of EA, marking one of the largest acquisitions in gaming history.
Looking Ahead
As of now, Scopely has not officially confirmed Project Comet or provided a release window for the game. The leaked footage remains unofficial, and players should treat all details with appropriate caution until formal announcements are made. Should the project proceed as indicated by these leaks, it could represent another major entry in Marvel’s expanding portfolio of video game adaptations, joining titles like Marvel Rivals on competitive multiplayer platforms.
Fans monitoring the situation will likely await official confirmation from Scopely or Marvel Games regarding the game’s development status, confirmed character roster, and any planned release dates. Until then, the leaked footage stands as one of the most detailed glimpses yet into a potential new chapter in mobile superhero gaming.
