Invincible VS, the 3v3 tag fighting game built around the Prime Video animated series, officially arrives April 30 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5. Developer Quarter Up has now spelled out exactly when the game goes live across every major timezone, so players worldwide know the precise moment to jump in.
The fighting game pulls characters directly from the show's roster, including Mark Grayson himself, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Bulletproof, and Thula. Beta participants received an exclusive Coalition of Planets Omni-Man skin as compensation for their early testing.
Beyond the competitive modes, Invincible VS ships with a full story campaign that functions as a bonus episode of the animated series, set between later installments of Season 3. The mode spans a full episode's length and covers the entire 18-character roster with original narrative content written by series writer Helen Leigh and the game's Narrative Director Mike Rogers, working alongside Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman. Skybound Animation produced the campaign with cinematics supervision from Emmy-winning director Seung Eun Kim, who worked on Arcane and The Batman.
The story recruits most of the original voice cast from the show. J.K. Simmons returns as Omni-Man, Gillian Jacobs voices Atom Eve, Jason Mantzoukas plays Rex Splode, Michael Dorn is Battle Beast, and others including Jay Pharoah, Grey DeLisle, Phil LaMarr, and Ross Marquand all reprise their roles. New to the franchise are Aleks Le as Mark Grayson, Gavin Hammon as Cecil Stedman, and rapper Tierra Whack, who voices an original character named Ella Mental. That character will get her own origin story in the Capes comic book series, launching with issue #7 on May 27.
Here are the confirmed global launch times for April 30:
Pacific Daylight Time (San Francisco): 10am. Central Standard Time (Mexico City): 11am. Central Daylight Time (Chicago): 12pm. Eastern Daylight Time (New York): 1pm. Brazil Time (Sao Paulo): 2pm. British Summer Time (London): 6pm. Central European Summer Time (Paris): 7pm.
For players in Asia and the Pacific, the game goes live on May 1. China Standard Time (Beijing): 1am. Japan Standard Time (Tokyo): 2am. Korea Standard Time (Seoul): 2am. Australian Eastern Standard Time (Sydney): 3am. New Zealand Standard Time (Wellington): 5am.
The game's core mechanic revolves around counter tagging, which shifts the flow of combat and opens tactical possibilities. Conquest is available as a playable character at launch, with two more DLC fighters scheduled for summer release.
Author Emily Chen: "The voice cast and story pedigree here suggest Quarter Up understands that fighting games need something beyond ranked ladders to hook mainstream audiences, especially when you're asking them to care about a three-year-old anime."
