Skybound Games and Quarter Up have officially unveiled Invincible VS, a 3v3 tag-team fighting game set in Robert Kirkman’s brutal superhero universe. Revealed on Day 3 of Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase, this AAA adaptation promises cinematic story sequences, over-the-top combat, and a roster straight from the hit comic and animated series.
Invincible VS throws players into high-stakes clashes, where teams of three heroes and villains duke it out in dynamic arenas. The debut gameplay trailer spotlights Omni-Man, Lucan, and Thula teaming up to confront Invincible, then seamlessly swapping to Atom Eve and Rex Splode with classic tag-in mechanics reminiscent of Marvel vs. Capcom. Expect bone-crunching Super Moves and finishers as graphic as any Mortal Kombat sequence—Kirkman’s signature gore is front and center, with every punch and power blast delivering comic-accurate carnage.
Beyond the fights, Invincible VS boasts a fully original narrative penned by Kirkman himself. Players can dive into a cinematic story mode that explores fresh chapters in the Invincible saga, or hone their skills in arcade and training modes. A robust online multiplayer suite will let fans test combos and team synergies against opponents worldwide. Early developer comments tease assist mechanics are under consideration, potentially letting secondary characters tag in for surprise attacks or defensive saves.
Invincible VS is built by a core team of Veteran Killer Instinct alumni, ensuring tight fighting-game fundamentals alongside modern visuals. The game will run on Unreal Engine 5, showcasing physics-driven impacts, fluid animations, and interactive environments that react to superpowered skirmishes. Cross-platform play, rollback netcode, and post-launch support with new characters are all on the roadmap to keep the roster growing.
Scheduled for 2026 release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and via Xbox Cloud Gaming, Invincible VS marks the first console game in Kirkman’s world. Pre-orders and beta details are expected in late 2025, with multiple editions hinted to include exclusive in-game skins, digital artbooks, and behind-the-scenes developer interviews.
Invincible VS not only scratches the long-standing itch for a superhero fighting game but also delivers on fan demand after Omni-Man’s cameo in Mortal Kombat 1 stirred excitement about an Invincible title of its own. With Kirkman’s direct involvement and a battle-tested team at the helm, this is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fighting games of the next console generation.
