Invincible VS devs would like to have guest characters like Spider-Man and Sub Zero: ‘If we have that opportunity, we will definitely take it’
The developers of Invincible VS have expressed interest in featuring guest characters from other franchises in their superhero fighting game. The team stated: “If we have that opportunity, we will definitely take it,” when asked about adding characters like Spider-Man and Sub-Zero to their roster.
Invincible VS is a tag-team fighting game based on Robert Kirkman’s acclaimed Image Comics series. Currently, the game features characters exclusively from the Invincible universe, but developers are open to expanding the roster through crossover collaborations if licensing opportunities become available.
Guest character appearances are a well-established tradition in fighting games, providing novelty and cross-franchise appeal. The genre has a history of unexpected character combinations—from Ryu fighting the Hulk to appearances by characters like Minecraft Steve and Shadow the Hedgehog. Such crossovers not only draw fans of multiple franchises but also generate interest and engagement within the fighting game community.
The developers’ enthusiasm for pursuing guest characters suggests they view such collaborations as valuable for the game’s long-term success and player retention. However, realizing these crossovers depends entirely on securing appropriate licensing agreements with other intellectual property holders, which can be complex and costly negotiations. The statement indicates the studio’s willingness to pursue such partnerships if the opportunity presents itself, positioning the game as open to the kind of multiverse-style character mixing that has become increasingly popular in modern fighting games.
