Summary
- Invincible’s creator has confirmed a triple-A game based on the comics is still happening.
- After seeing it, it’s the most excited they have ever been about anything involving Invincible.
- Skybound revealed its Invincible game plans last year and crowd-funded $680,000 for the project.
It’s been almost a year of radio silence from Skybound after it revealed initial details about its ambitious triple-A Invincible game and crowdfunded more than half a million dollars for it. Invincible creator Robert Kirkman has provided an update, confirming development is still underway and saying it’s the most excited he has ever been about the series he created.
Kirkman spoke to Dexerto ahead of this week’s season three finale and was asked for an update on the promised Invincible video game. Despite being Invincible’s creator, Kirkman was hesitant to say anything, noting that he wasn’t even sure if he was allowed to say how much of the game he has seen.

Dupli-Kate can be unlocked by completing quests, probably so that matches are filled with her this weekend.
That there’s even something for Kirkman to see is a promising development. However, despite the lack of details, what Kirkman said next has further built on the hype Skybound created via its reveal last year. “I’m gonna play it safe and just say, from what I have seen, I am more excited than I’ve been about anything involving Invincible,” Kirkman said.
The Triple-A Invincible Game Is Still A Thing
And The Comic’s Creator Is Very Excited About It
Considering what falls under that umbrella, that’s quite the claim. That presumably means Kirkman is more excited about the Invincible video game from what he has seen so far than the three seasons of television and even the comic books he wrote. Good to know, and exciting stuff, but again, it’s hard to get as excited as Kirkman is about the game when we know nothing about it outside of people in the know assuring us it’s going to be great.
Invincible technically already has a video game – a far less celebrated mobile game called Guarding The Globe. There are also Invincible skins in Fortnite, the latest crossover taking place today and bringing new characters into the fold.
When Skybound confirmed more about the game last year, it revealed it will be a “premium model with multiple DLC expansions”. The team working on it is made up of developers who have previously worked on games at Activision Blizzard, EA, and Epic Games. Quite the roster with more than 30 of them working on the game, but no indication of when we will get our first look at it.
No first look at Skybound’s Invincible game isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The list of games that are revealed only to disappear for years and, in some cases, never return is a long one, particularly when it comes to superhero games. Wonder Woman had seemingly been in development for less time than the Invincible game has been when its teaser debuted, and now it’s been canceled. It has also been more than three years since Insomniac showed off Wolverine with no real update on it since. If Skybound’s Invincible game is as good as promised, I don’t want to see it until it’s ready and has a release window that isn’t years away.
