Developer Quarter Up and publisher Skybound Entertainment have released a new trailer for upcoming fighting game Invincible VS. The trailer gives us a look at the overall gameplay style and combos of one of the most notable characters from the Invincible franchise – Omni-Man. The trailer, which you can check out below, also gives us a look at how Omni-Man can interact with the various other members of the roster, complete with unique taunts and voice lines.
Omni-Man’s gameplay seems to revolve quite a bit around aerial combo strings, which can end with a flourish by the character grabbing his opponents by their legs and slamming them into the ground. The trailer also confirms that Omni-Man will have strong anti-air options thanks to an uppercut attack that can also be powered up to give the character some invincibility frames.
Through the trailer, we also get a look at some of the unique voice lines that Omni-Man will have in the midst of a fight. Alongside other callouts where he taunts his opponents, the character will also be able to pull off his famous “think” line while beating the tar out of his enemies.
Invincible creator Robert Kirkman had previously spoken about the roster for the game, saying that the title will feature a “massive” one where just about any character that fans of the series might be wondering about has a 99 percent chance of being in the game.
“There’s so much care being put into being true to the Invincible universe,” Kirkman said. “So if you’re a fan of the comics or the show and you’re like, ‘Oh, there’s a fighting game coming, who would I like to be in that fighting game?’ There’s a 99% chance they’re going to be in the game. I’ll just say that. That’s a spoiler. I might get in trouble for that. I don’t know.”
“The lineup is going to be absolutely insane. I’m so glad that we announced Battle Beast. You can’t do an Invincible fighting game without having Battle Beast be one of the playable characters. There are other characters like that that will more than likely be in the game. So, we’ll see. We’ve got a lot of announcements to roll out. There’s a really great team working on this, and I can’t wait for people to see everything that’s going into it.”
Since the game was first announced back in early June, there have been a few videos showcasing the game that also featured prominent figures from the fighting game community. These figures range from professional players that take part in major tournaments, tournament organisers, and even commentators. One of the videos that was released for the title last month focused on developers taking feedback from the fighting game community. An earlier video gave us a look at some of the behind-the-scenes action for the game, and featured developers talking about actually making Invincible VS.
Invincible VS is going to be a 3-on-3 tag fighting game and is slated for release on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S some time next year. Check out its announcement trailer for more details.
