Invincible VS has added perhaps the one character fans have been clamoring for the most: Conquest. The terrifyingly powerful and mentally unstable Viltrumite is the final character joining the roster at launch: may heaven have mercy on everyone else.
Revealed dramatically during the Evo Awards, developer Quarter Up describes Conquest as a striker who is capable of applying “immense pressure” and overwhelming opponents with powerful strikes. For example, he has a charging punch that builds speed and gains super armor the further it travels.
Today’s news finalizes the 18-fighter launch roster. Here is the full line-up:
Allen the Alien
Anissa
Atom Eve
Battle Beast
Bulletproof
Cecil Stedman
Conquest
Dupli-Kate
Ella Mental
Invincible
Lucan
Monster Girl
Omni-Man
Powerplex
Rex Splode
Robot
Thula
Titan
These characters won’t be alone for long. Quarter Up previously announced a Year 1 DLC roadmap that will add new fighters over the coming months, and we now know the first two characters that will arrive: The Immortal and Universa. The Immortal, as his name suggests, is a long-living warrior and a pillar of the Guardians of the Globe. Universa is new to fans of the Invincible animated series, having debuted in the recently released Season 4; we won’t reveal anything else if you haven’t watched yet.
Additionally, Quarter Up also revealed the modes that will be playable in the game’s open beta from April 9-11. Players can try the Tutorial, Practice, and Ranked offerings. 10 characters will be selectable (Invincible, Atom Eve, Omni-Man, Allen, Battle Beast, Rex Splode, Robot, Monster Girl, Thula, and Bulletproof) across 6 arenas: Hometown Invasion (Night), The Moon, Ka-Hor’s Tomb (Day), Himalayas, Kinetic Chamber, and Training Room. Lastly, open beta players will also unlock a special Omni-Man character skin.
Invincible VS is set to launch on April 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game also graces the cover of Game Informer magazine this month, and you can subscribe to read the digital issue now (with print issues arriving in the mail and to bookstores/newsstands soon).
