Invincible is getting a fighting game with Mortal Kombat-style fatalities

by

The newly unveiled video game titled “Invincible” is a fresh addition to the IP, boasting authentic 2D fighting mechanics and combinations reminiscent of the most renowned combat game series.

Frequently, when large intellectual properties (IPs) introduce spin-offs in the form of fighting games, they tend to focus more on style rather than substance, resulting in an arena fighter with a short lifespan. Although these games aren’t inherently flawed, they typically fail to maintain their popularity as competitive titles that dedicated players invest significant time into mastering.

Invincible is planning to break new ground, developing a combat game intended to endure through the ages. With Sony introducing Marvel’s Tokon Fighting Souls and aiming for dominance in the fighting game sector, it’s significant that Xbox gets its unique contender.

It also helps that they’ve got some Mortal Kombat style fatalities.

Invincible VS is a true 2D fighter with brutal combat

While Invincible is celebrated for its compelling narrative and vibrant character lineup, it’s equally recognized for its graphic depiction of violence. This animated series doesn’t shy away from the brutal elimination of characters, often portraying these deaths in gruesome detail.

Instead of keeping that aspect from the original content unchanged, they’ve transformed it into a gameplay feature. This transformation includes some finishing moves reminiscent of Fatalities, which are awarded following a victory in combat.

This game is a three-versus-three tag team fighter, reminiscent of classic superhero brawls like Marvel vs Capcom. The lineup includes characters such as Invincible, Omni-Man, Adam Eve, and Bulletproof, among others. Given that it’s a 3v3 game, they’ll need a vast roster to prevent the game from becoming repetitive.

It’s fortunate that there’s an abundance of material for Invincible, featuring numerous heroes who have limited screen time or recognition in the original comics. This offers them an opportunity to make a significant impact now.

The game’s approximate launch date is around 2026, but specific details are not available at this time, so we might need to wait a while before we can enjoy it. However, what’s exciting is that this game will be exclusive to Xbox platforms, including PC. If you don’t have Game Pass and wish to purchase it, you’ll need to do so through the Xbox store.
