Gameplay
[edit]Invincible VS is a fighting game based around teams of three characters, which players can tag between during battle.[3] Players can perform an "active tag", switching characters in the middle of a combo to continue attacking.[3] Players can also perform a "counter tag", allowing them to escape a combo during an active tag if performed correctly.[3] The game includes a cinematic story mode, along with arcade and training modes.[4] The game supports local and online multiplayer with rollback netcode.[3]
Characters
[edit]The game features a base roster of 18 playable characters, with four additional characters planned as downloadable content.[1]
Development and release
[edit]Invincible VS is the first game developed by Quarter Up, a Los Angeles-based[15] studio founded by several members of the development team behind Killer Instinct (2013).[16] Quarter Up is the first in-house development studio under publisher Skybound Games.[4] Select members of the animated series' voice cast reprise their roles for the game, including J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man and Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve.[17] The developers created an original character for the game, Ella Mental (voiced by Tierra Whack), in collaboration with series creators Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker.[1]
The game was announced on June 8, 2025 during the Xbox Summer Showcase livestream.[18] It is currently scheduled to be released on April 30, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X and S.[19][1] The game will be available in standard and deluxe editions digitally, the latter of which includes the first year character pass and additional cosmetics; a "Zero Suit" costume for Invincible is offered as a digital pre-order incentive.[20] Physical editions of the game, including a standard edition with retailer-exclusive covers, and deluxe and collector's editions with additional physical rewards, are also planned for release.[20]
