Invincible VS Is a Tag-Team Brawler Packed With Bloody Superhero Carnage
Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase had its share of surprises, including a new game from Pokémon developer Game Freak and the ROG Xbox Ally portable handheld. Another surprise is a fighting game featuring characters from the Invincible comic and show. Invincible VS is a 3-vs.-3 tag fighting game featuring characters from the Invincible universe. The trailer showed several characters from the show, including Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Bulletproof, and two Viltrumites—the powerful alien species Omni-Man and Invincible belong to. The game itself has a comic book art style to it, but its action is more along the lines of Mortal Kombat. The fighting is very bloody—which is faithful to the comic and show—but no kind of fatalities were shown in the trailer. There are also a couple of familiar settings from the show. While only a handful of characters were shown in this first glimpse of Invincible VS, there is a wealth of heroes and villains that could be added to the game before it launches. Robert Kirkman's Invincible started as a comic in 2003 and ended its run in 2018. In 2021, an animated series based on the comic made its debut on Amazon Prime Video. The show wrapped up its third season in March and has already been renewed for a fourth season. Skybound Games is publishing Invincible VS with development handled by Quarter Up, an in-house studio led by members of the team that created 2013's Killer Instinct. Invincible VS will be released sometime in 2026 for PC and Xbox Series consoles.

‘Invincible' is Finally Getting Its Own Fighting Game
Stand ready for the arrival of 'Invincible VS,' a bloody tag-team 3v3 fighter coming to PC and consoles in 2026. Once it became clear Prime Video's adaptation of Invincible was a hit, fans and comic co-creator Robert Kirkman started talking more. Not just more seasons, but where else the IP could go, specifically video games. After a mobile game and a visual novel for Atom Eve, the time's come for the series to really get its hands bloody. During the Xbox Games Showcase, Skybound Games and developer Quarter Up unveiled Invincible VS, the franchise's first full video game for consoles and PC. Naturally, it's a fighting game, and players will assemble three-person teams and go head-to-head against other players online. Beyond Mark and his dad Nolan, the roster includes heroes like Atom Eve, Rex Splode, and Bulletproof, plus Viltrumites Thula and Lucan. Some of the TV actors also look to be reprising their roles for the game. According to a press release from Skybound, VS will also feature a single-player story along with competitive and casual multiplayer and Training and Arcade modes. This being Invincible, characters shed a lot of blood as they beat each other into a pulp. Along with the tag-team mechanics of Marvel vs. Capcom (or more recently Marvel Tōkon), it looks like VS is taking inspiration from NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat games in that the fighters all have brutal finishers they can inflict on one another. If Mark can headbutt guys' heads off and Eve can blast them apart, everyone else's are gonna be just as gnarly. But will they top Omni-Man's gruesome train murder used in Mortal Kombat 1? Invincible VS releases in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
