Invincible VS: launch and day-one patch details

Invincible VS, the long-awaited 3v3 tag fighting game based on the popular Invincible comic book series, is being developed by Quarter Up and published by Skybound Games. The official launch is set for April 30, 2026, on platforms including PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5. This article covers the launch, available modes, and the announced day-one patch.

About Invincible VS

Invincible VS puts players in the role of iconic characters from the Invincible series, such as Omni-Man, Atom Eve, and Rex Splode. With 18 playable characters at launch and modes including story mode, arcade mode, training mode, and online multiplayer, the game offers a rich experience for both new players and longtime fans of the franchise.

The story mode, written by Helen Leigh and Mike Rogers in collaboration with Robert Kirkman, gives players the chance to explore both the narrative and character interactions in more depth. That makes it not just a fighting game, but also an extension of the animated series’ storyline.

Day-one patch details

Ahead of launch, Quarter Up has announced a day-one patch that will include numerous improvements and bug fixes to optimize the overall experience. The patch’s main goal is to improve combat balance, with changes to damage calculations and tagging.

Key changes in the patch include:

• A damage-scaling overhaul to reduce unfair solo “Touch of Death” setups.

• Heroic Strike now requires 1.5 meter instead of 1 meter.

• Immediate tagging after defeating an opponent is no longer possible.

• Special and super moves have been reworked to make them more punishable when blocked.

• Broader fighter adjustments to improve overall gameplay balance.

Open beta and community feedback

An open beta took place in April 2026, allowing players to fight with a range of characters from the game. During this period, the development team gathered feedback to improve the launch experience. Players received a Coalition of Planets Omni-Man skin as thanks for taking part.

Community feedback on gameplay balance was mixed, with concerns about the potential for high-damage combo spam. The day-one patch changes are a response to those concerns, and the hope is that balance will improve as a result.

Future updates

The developer has already said more updates will follow after launch, as the team focuses on fixing remaining issues and improving the overall gameplay experience based on player feedback. One announced change is a cooldown penalty for players who leave competitive matches early.

For fans who want more than just the core gameplay, DLC characters are also planned for the future, allowing the game to continue evolving.

With a mix of an exciting story mode and competitive gameplay, Invincible VS aims to set a new standard in the 3v3 fighting game genre.
