The studio’s first project will be a 3v3 tag-team fighting game titled Invincible VS, set in the world of Amazon Prime Video’s explosive Invincible animated series based on Robert Kirkman’s Image comic book series of the same name.
Invincible VS is being billed as «a brutal tournament-quality 3v3 tag fighting game that lets players become a superhero in the bloodiest fight in the universe.» Currently. the game is set to feature a roster of fan-favorite Invincible characters, including Thula, Atom Eve, Bulletproof, and, of course, Invincible himself, Mark Grayson.

We want them to fall in love with the characters and the world of Invincible. There’s so much rich lore and badass-ness that we just want people to get their chance to play with us.»
Skybound Games chief Chris Paulson said of the team at Quarter Up, «I think about our team as a group of fighting-game fans making games for the fighting-game community, and we’re trying to create a game that matches what people want.» Paulson went on to discuss Invincible VS specifically, noting that the title, «doesn’t have to be this huge game that costs $100, it can be something more focused. And so we don’t really think about double A or triple A or whatever, we think about making a game for an audience, and we’re playing the game with the people that are going to be fans.»
