‘Invincible’ is Finally Getting Its Own Fighting Game

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.
