“We’ve worked hard to create Invincible VS, and as huge fans of Invincible and fighting games alike here at Quarter Up, it’s incredibly rewarding to finally share the game with players,” said Mike Willette, executive producer of Invincible VS. “Quarter Up was founded by former members of the team behind Killer Instinct (2013), and we brought that fighting game experience into building a competitive, high-impact 3v3 system.

The Invincible VS Story Mode is written by Invincible TV show co-executive producer and writer Helen Leigh and Invincible VS Narrative Director Mike Rogers in collaboration with Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman.

“Getting to be involved with Invincible VS has been wild in the best way — seeing this world we’ve spent years building show up in a fighting game is just surreal,” said Kirkman. “I should also admit, I’m not exactly a pro at fighting games, so if I can pick this up and have fun, anyone can. The team really captured the chaos and personality of the universe and the characters move, hit and basically obliterate each other exactly how you’d hope. Fans are going to have a blast finally getting to step in and do some of that damage themselves.”
