All 10 Beta Playable Characters

The beta focuses on 3v3 tag-team battles with Active Tagging as a core mechanic, where switching fighters mid-combo is central to how matches play out. During the Open Beta, you get access to these 10 fighters:

FighterBeta Status
Mark Grayson (Invincible)Playable
Omni-ManPlayable
Atom EvePlayable
Allen the AlienPlayable
Battle BeastPlayable
Rex SplodePlayable
RobotPlayable
Monster GirlPlayable
ThulaPlayable
BulletproofPlayable

Allen the Alien is a powerful Striker-class fighter who uses mobility, superhuman strength, and grappling to control matches. His armored stance and mix-up potential make him one of the trickier fighters to master, however the payoff is a flashy, combo-heavy playstyle that rewards dedicated players.

All 6 Beta Arenas

Matches in the beta take place across six confirmed arenas:

  • Hometown Invasion (Night)
  • The Moon
  • Ka-Hor’s Tomb (Day)
  • Himalayas
  • Kinetic Chamber
  • Training Room

What Modes Are Available in the Beta?

The Invincible VS Open Beta includes three playable modes:

Tutorial Mode New to fighting games? Tutorial mode walks you through core mechanics, from basic movement and inputs right up to advanced systems like Active Tagging (switching fighters mid-combo) and Assist Breakers (used to interrupt opponents’ additional attacks).

Practice Mode Practice mode gives you full freedom to test fighters, build team compositions, and refine combos. Tools available include Hitbox and Frame Data displays, Dummy Settings to control opponent behaviour, and Recording playback to recreate specific matchup scenarios. From Practice mode, you can also queue directly into Ranked matches.

Ranked Mode Ranked is the competitive centrepiece of the beta. You begin with 10 placement matches that determine your starting rank based on performance. From there, wins earn League Points (LP) to climb the leaderboard, while losses deduct LP and can result in rank demotion. Win streaks grant bonus LP on top of the standard amount.

Special Reward: The top 20 players on the Ranked leaderboard at the end of the beta will have their names featured in the full game’s credits. All Ranked progress and ranks reset before the full launch on April 30, 2026, however the credits recognition is permanent.

Free Beta Reward – Bonus Omni-Man Skin

Every player who participates in the Invincible VS Open Beta will receive a bonus cosmetic Omni-Man skin. No minimum playtime or rank is required. Simply playing at any point during the beta window is enough to qualify, and the skin unlocks automatically at full launch on April 30, 2026.

Launch Roster – All 18 Characters

When Invincible VS launches on April 30, 2026, the complete roster of 18 fighters will be available. The roster includes characters from both the comics and the animated series, as well as one original character, Ella Mental:

Conquest is the 18th and final launch character, revealed at the Evo Awards 2026 on March 28. He is a Viltrumite Striker who applies relentless pressure with a charging punch that accelerates over distance and gains super armor mid-travel, making him extremely difficult to stop once he gets moving.

Confirmed Year 1 DLC Characters

Quarter Up has confirmed the first two post-launch DLC fighters, both arriving in Summer 2026, with two more planned for later in 2026:

  • The Immortal – A long-living warrior and member of the Guardians of the Globe
  • Universa – An energy-siphoning antagonist who made her debut in Invincible Season 4

Both characters are part of the Year 1 Character Pass, which is included in the Deluxe Edition pre-order.
