Invincible VS announced its new 2D tag-team fighter set to be released in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. The game is based on the animated series Invincible and was officially revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase. The game was developed by Quarter Up, a studio formed by ex-Microsoft Killer Instinct (2013) developers.
The game promises high-impact action, savage combos, and gory finishes that are inspired by the show’s violence.
This game is focused on competing with other franchises on the storyline, offering an ever-increasing array of superheroes and villains to choose from.
A True 2D Fighter with a Bloody Twist
Unlike many superhero-based games that go the arena-fighter route, Invincible VS captures the spirit of a classic 2D tag-team fighter. Featuring 3v3 combat inspired by the Marvel vs. Capcom series. The game embraces the IP’s signature intensity and brutal nature. Players are allowed to finish their opponents in the Mortal Kombat style, such as heads exploding, limbs shattering, and arms being ripped off.
Confirmed characters include Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, and Bulletproof. Due to the 3v3 setup, having a large and diverse deep cast will be vital to sustaining fresh competitive gameplay. Whether you’re a casual or hardcore fan of the series, the blend of supersonic combat and overwhelming bloodshed gives the title a distinct appeal not commonly found in superhero games.
Competitive Ambitions and Killer Instinct Legacy
What makes Invincible VS stand out from the rest is its focus on long-term competitive fighting. The presence of the Killer Instinct (2013) developers adds credibility to the gameplay design, suggesting intricate systems and precise balancing. There is also a story mode with cinematics that will be integrated alongside arcade, training, and online PvP modes that will be written by storywriters who are well-versed with the Invincible franchise.
It is clear that Invincible VS is Microsoft’s outspoken answer to Sony’s recently revealed Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls. With a skilled development team, famous characters, and a ruthless approach to the IP, Invincible VS has strong potential. There is no question that Invincible VS can shine in the already saturated fighting game market.
