In a recent interview, Robert Kirkman, the creator of Invincible, disclosed exciting news about the upcoming game, Invincible VS. This 3v3 tag fighter draws inspiration from both the comics and the animated series, and it is being developed by Skybound Games and Quarter Up. The game is set for release in 2026 across platforms including PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
Invincible VS began as a crowdfunding initiative in 2024, aiming to create a top-tier fighting game described as a “high-octane blood bath.” The campaign exceeded expectations, raising over $687K, significantly surpassing its original goal of $50K. Following a year of development, the game was officially unveiled at the 2025 Xbox Summer Showcase, introducing fans to characters such as Omni-Man, Lucan, Thula, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, and Mark Grayson.
A recent gameplay trailer presented at San Diego Comic-Con featured Battle Beast, heightening anticipation among fans. Kirkman emphasized that the character roster for Invincible VS will be extensive, teasing that fans can expect many beloved characters to join the fight. Although he refrained from sharing specific spoilers, he hinted that there’s a “99% chance” a certain favorite will appear.
He also mentioned that this announcement marks just the beginning of the character reveals leading up to the game’s launch. Highlighting the significance of Battle Beast, Kirkman asserted that his inclusion is essential for the game’s identity, stating, “You can’t do an Invincible fighting game without Battle Beast.” He acknowledged the challenge of balancing numerous characters while suggesting that the game might adopt a staggered release approach for additional fighters post-launch. When asked about the release date, he only revealed it would be “sooner than you may think,” fueling speculation of a possible Q1 or Q2 2026 launch.
