"Fighting Game Based on 'Invincible' Coming Soon"
Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled battle as Invincible VS, a brand-new fighting game inspired by the action-packed Invincible comic book series, is set to launch in 2026 for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S[1][2][3]. Developed by Quarter Up, a fresh in-house studio at Skybound Games, this game promises intense and violent gameplay that mirrors the comic's iconic style.
In Invincible VS, players can assemble three-person teams and compete online. The game takes inspiration from the tag-team mechanics of Marvel vs. Capcom and the brutal finishers of NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat games. The finishers for all characters in Invincible VS are described as "gnarly," with each character having their own unique and brutal moves they can inflict on one another[3].
Characters such as Mark, Nolan, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Bulletproof, Thula, and Lucan will be part of the game's roster[3]. Some TV actors are reprising their roles for the game, although specific names have not been released yet[1]. Notable additions to the roster include Viltrumites Thula and Lucan.
The game features a single-player story, competitive and casual multiplayer, Training and Arcade modes. However, no new game modes or features for Invincible VS have been introduced in the latest updates[1].
The success of Prime Video's adaptation of Invincible has undoubtedly contributed to the excitement surrounding the release of Invincible VS. While it remains to be seen if the finishers in the game will top Omni-Man's gruesome train murder used in Mortal Kombat 1, one thing is certain: Invincible VS promises to deliver a thrilling and brutal gaming experience.
Discussions about more seasons and potential IP expansion, including video games, have increased[1]. However, as of now, no further information about the potential expansion of the Invincible IP has been provided[1].
Invincible VS is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the Invincible franchise and fighting games alike. With its release date set for 2026, fans can look forward to assembling their dream teams and battling it out online. Stay tuned for more updates on Invincible VS!
