Invincible VS is an upcoming fighting video game developed by Quarter Up and published by Skybound Games. It is based on the Amazon Prime Video animated series adaptation of the Image Comics series Invincible, with members of the show's voice cast reprising their roles. The game is set to be released on April 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X and S.

Gameplay

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

The game features a base roster of 18 playable characters, with four additional characters planned as downloadable content.[2]

Development and release

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] Members of the animated series' voice cast reprise their roles for the game, including Steven Yeun as Invincible and J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man.[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.[2]

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][2] The game will be avaialable 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]
