Invincible VS Will Have an “Absolutely Insane” Roster of Characters – Robert Kirkman

With quite a lot of details about upcoming fighting game Invincible VS already having been revealed thanks to the videos previously released by developer Quarter Up and publisher Skybound Entertainment, one of the big questions about the title has been about how deep its roster of characters will be. In an interview with IGN at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Invincible creator Robert Kirkman has stated that the roster in the game will be massive.

While he was careful to avoid revealing too many details about the title, Kirkman said that there was a “99%” chance that whatever characters a player might want in the game would be present as part of its roster. He also went into detail about some of the roster, including Battle Beast, and how there are also other characters that players can expect to see. However, he also joked that he “might get into trouble” for saying this.

“There’s so much care being put into being true to the Invincible universe,” Kirkman said. “So if you’re a fan of the comics or the show and you’re like, ‘Oh, there’s a fighting game coming, who would I like to be in that fighting game?’ There’s a 99% chance they’re going to be in the game. I’ll just say that. That’s a spoiler. I might get in trouble for that. I don’t know.”

“The lineup is going to be absolutely insane. I’m so glad that we announced Battle Beast. You can’t do an Invincible fighting game without having Battle Beast be one of the playable characters. There are other characters like that that will more than likely be in the game. So we’ll see. We’ve got a lot of announcements to roll out. There’s a really great team working on this and I can’t wait for people to see everything is going into it.”

Invincible VS doesn’t yet have a solid release date other than a general 2026 window. When asked about this, Kirkman responded by saying that it will be out “sooner than you think… but next year. I’m not being specific.”

Earlier this month, we got to see a video about Invincible VS where the developers of the game were responding to feedback from prominent members of the fighting game community. This included CEO organiser Kizzie Kay, as well as fighting game commentator Michael Kwon, both talking about how faithfully the game is able to capture the overall vibe of the Invincible Amazon series.

“I mean just watching season one, episode one, I think everyone was like mind-blown after that episode, and it’s just like ‘oh, dang, they’re translating that into the video game’,” said Kwon. “It’s like everybody’s head’s popping off.”

Game director Dave Hall also spoke about how important it was for the studio to make Invincible VS feel authentic by capturing the “big things”, like the speed, scale and power of some of the characters from the original stories.

Invincible VS is in development for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. For more details, check out the behind-the-scenes video released last the announcement trailer from during Xbox Games Showcase 2025 in early June.
