Picture this: a superhero slugfest where every punch lands with the force of a meteor strike, where character arcs are just as compelling as the combos, and where the arenas look like crime scenes by the end of a match. That’s the promise of InvincibleVS, the newly revealed 3v3 tag fighting game that just stole the show at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025.
From the creators of the hit comic and Amazon series, Invincible, this game is shaping up to be the goriest, most love-drunk tribute to fighting games since, well, ever. And let’s be real, with Robert Kirkman—the mastermind behind the comics—openly gushing that this is "probably the best superhero fighting game in the universe," expectations are already in the stratosphere.
Remember that time Omni-Man turned a subway car into a weapon in the show? Yeah, that kind of ruthless, physics-defying violence is baked into InvincibleVS. The tagline might as well be "bone-deep satisfaction," because according to the developers, every dropped health bar is supposed to feel earned. Whether you’re swapping between Mark Grayson and Atom Eve mid combo or landing a fatality-level Super move with Thula, the whole thing is designed to make you wince and cheer at the same time.
Here’s what’s wild: Skybound Entertainment isn’t even a game studio. They’re the comic and TV folks who struck gold with Invincible’s animated adaptation. But instead of handing the franchise off to some triple-A developer, they built an in-house team stacked with veterans from Activision Blizzard, EA, and Epic. That explains why the trailer looked smoother than Omni-Man’s excuses for war crimes. This isn’t some lazy tie-in. It’s a passion project by fighting game diehards, for fighting game diehards.
And the timing? Genius. Fighting games are having a renaissance, but superhero brawlers have been stuck in a weird limbo between Injustice’s cinematic flair and Marvel vs. Capcom’s chaotic energy. InvincibleVS could carve out its own niche by dialing up the brutality and strategy in equal measure. Plus, with the show’s fourth season looming in 2026, the hype train is basically a speeding bullet already.
The best part? This isn’t just another arena fighter where you button-mash your way to victory. The devs are promising tactical depth, with defensive plays and tag mechanics that’ll separate the casual smashers from the pros. And if the single-player story is half as gripping as the comics, we might finally get a fighting game where the narrative doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
Of course, we’ve been burned before. Remember when Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe had to tone down the gore to keep Superman from ripping off heads? No such restrictions here. Invincible thrives on ultraviolence, and if the game captures even 70% of that magic, we’re in for a spectacle.
So mark your calendars for 2026. Whether you’re here for the lore, the combos, or just the catharsis of finally beating up Omni-Man in 4K, InvincibleVS might just be the fight we’ve all been waiting for.
