The Game Awards 2025 trailer

The latest trailer for Invincible VS showed off a character completely unique to the game, who hasn’t been seen in the comics or the show: Ella Mental.

Boasting control over the four elements, Ella Mental is an heiress to her family’s fortune and her grandfather’s favorite grandkid, allowing her access to an ancient talisman that gifts her these powers.

We even got the chance to interview Quarter Up about her celebrity voice actress, rapper Tierra Whack, and the star power she brought to the role.

Who is developing Invincible VS?

Invincible VS is developed by Quarter Up, an in-house game development studio led by former members of Double Helix Games’ Killer Instinct team. Their name, Quarter Up, references the time-honored tradition of stacking a quarter on an arcade cabinet to claim the next game.

There’s quite a bit of DNA from KI in Invincible VS, but the devs at Quarter Up told us they’re working closely with the show’s animators and creators within the exact same studio at Skybound to make sure it retains everything fans know and love about the series.

What characters are in Invincible VS? Roster so far

Thus far, eleven characters have been confirmed for Invincible VS:

  • Omni-Man
  • Invincible
  • Bulletproof
  • Atom Eve
  • Rex Splode
  • Thula
  • Battle Beast
  • Ella Mental
  • Cecil Steadman
  • Robot
  • Monster Girl

The devs have stated that Invincible VS will feature 18 characters at launch, along with a Year 1 Character Pack, which will introduce two additional fighters in the months following launch for a total of four new characters over the course of the Pass.

A guiding factor for the Invincible VS developers in terms of choosing which characters to put in the game has been making sure the cast is varied in terms of gameplay.

Original story mode

Invincible VS will feature a totally original story, complete with an original character: Ella Mental. The story features over 25 minutes of bespoke animation and will bring new flair to the Invincible Universe.

Quarter Up showed off Ella Mental’s trailer at the 2025 Game Awards, along with a release date for April 30, 2026.
