Following the immense success of the Amazon Prime Video animated superhero show, Invincible, now in its third season and featuring talent such as J.K. Simmons, Steven Yeun, Gillian Jacobs, Aaron Paul, Simu Liu and more, many fans were thinking that a fighting game based on the property, à la Injustice, would be a match made in heaven.
Skybound Games and their in-house studio, Quarter Up, which specializes in fighters, are of the same opinion as, during the Xbox Games Showcase, they unveiled Invincible VS, an appropriately brutal, bloody and frenetic, considering the adapted material, 3v3 tag fighter. Surprisingly, Invincible VS the trailer does not actually show the game’s tag system in play, instead opting to cut to a different fight altogether in order to convey that effect, but, fighting game fans can probably expect a twist on the feature that made titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ so beloved within the fighting game community.
The comparison to these two fighting game tournament mainstays does not end here, either, as Quarter Up seems intent on delivering a game of “tournament-quality”, assuming one that would be featured during EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.
What’s more, Quarter Up has also partnered with the team behind the animated show for a story mode for Invincible VS. No more details are yet known about this story mode, but as the trailer shows, fans can rest assured that Omni-Man, together with Thula and Black Samson, will likely be throwing fists with Invincible, who is joined up by Atom Eve and Red Rush, across a variety of locations such as a city (presumably New York or Chicago), snow-capped mountains and even the surface of the Moon as part of the game’s narrative.
Invincible VS will release on Xbox Series X/S, Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.
