Invincible is a comic series that was published in 2003 and that in recent years gained a significant boost in popularity thanks to the release of a successful animated adaptation. Now, those responsible want to expand that universe in an ambitious AAA video game.
Skybound Entertainment, the company co-founded by David Alpert and Robert Kirkman, announced plans to make a new AAA game based on the popular comic strip. The project will be carried out by its division Skybound Gamesand it is expected that personalities with great expertise in the gaming industry will be involved.

Invincible will have a AAA video game; crowdfunding campaign launched
Previously, the company obtained $18 MMDD thanks to more than 6,000 investors who made a financial contribution through a crowdfunding initiative. Now, he is in search of $5 MMDD additional to materialize the project. The new campaign, which will remain open in the website Republic until the end of April, has already raised $445,200 USDwhich far exceeds the initial goal of $50,000 USD.
“We are delighted to launch this crowdfunding campaign in Republic, and we invite fans to join us in this new expansion and adventure. At Skybound, we prioritize fostering meaningful connections with our audience and this initiative will allow fans to not only immerse themselves in the world of Invinciblealso contribute directly to its expansion,” said the executive director David Alpert.
As far as the video game is concerned, details remain scarce. We know it will be a AAA experience developed by a studio made up of more than 30 workers with previous experience in Activision Blizzard, Epic Games and Electronic Arts. No further information was provided, so the approach and scale are unknown.
The campaign description states that the game Invincible will have competitive gameplay, premium production values and advanced technical foundations; In addition, the presence of “local and competitive game modes” stands out. On the other hand, Skybound Games points out that it plans to expand the title with “multiple DLC” that allow new stories to be contributed to the universe of the franchise.
Everything indicates that the project is in its initial stages, so its premiere still seems very distant, even if the development team manages to raise the additional $5 MMDD. The announcement confirms that Robert Kirkman, creator of the IP, will be involved in the production.
This certainly won't be the first video game based on the comic series. In addition to the mobile game Invincible: Guarding the Globefans can enjoy the acclaimed visual novel Invincible Presents: Atom Evewhich was free a couple of weeks ago through Prime Gaming.
Regarding the animated series, Amazon confirmed that there will be a third season. Even without a release date, the new lines of dialogue have already been recorded.
