Quarter Up did announce a pair of post launch characters as well, Universa and the Immortal, both of which will be made available this summer. There’s more in the pipeline as well, though details were not yet made public.
As for the beta which runs from April 9th – 11th on console, there were 3 modes announced (Tutorial, Practice and Ranked), and they confirmed that those who check it out will unlock a bonus Omni-Man skin for use in the full version.

Conquest Joins the Fight!
Conquest isn’t just a warning – he’s the end of the conversation.Today at the Evo Awards, Skybound Entertainment’s first in-house game development studio, Quarter Up, announced Conquest as the newest playable fighter in its upcoming 3v3 tag fighting game, Invincible VS, set in the award-winning Invincible universe.
By far the most ruthless and cruel member of the Viltrumites, Conquest gets a genuine thrill from causing mass pain and destruction. With no interest in duty, ceremony or politics, he meets every challenge with brutal violence, unfazed by the thought of collateral damage or taking innocent lives. Conquest is known as the “nuclear option,” deployed only when the Empire needs a planet subdued in the most sadistic and merciless way possible. Yet that same savage, over-the-top brutality leaves him despised by his own kind – revealing a loneliness at his core.
In Invincible VS, Conquest is a devastating and unyielding “Striker”. Capable of applying immense pressure, and overpowering his opponents with powerful strikes, strategic counter projectiles, and a charging punch which builds speed and gains super armor as it travels. Time your armored abilities to blast through your opponents feeble attacks!
Conquest marks the final addition to the 18-character roster available at launch, joining a large lineup of fan-favorite characters like Mark Grayson (Invincible), Thula, Bulletproof, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Omni-Man, Battle Beast, Cecil Stedman, Robot, Monster Girl, Anissa, Lucan, Powerplex, Dupli-Kate, Allen the Alien, Titan and Invincible VS’s first new original character, Ella Mental.
Conquest’s Evo Awards Reveal Moment
In classic Invincible fashion, Conquest’s reveal at the Evo Awards was one you couldn’t look away from. A towering 6’8” statue of Conquest thawed from within 3,500 pounds of frozen ice and blood as fans witnessed the spectacle on-site and during a global livestream. The more fans that gathered to watch, the quicker Conquest was freed.Open Beta: Modes and Omni-Man Skin Revealed
Alongside Conquest’s reveal, Quarter Up also shared new details on Invincible VS’s upcoming Open Beta – from 10 AM PT on April 9 through 9 PM PT on April 11 – including its available modes, as well as teased a special skin available to Beta players.Available modes during Open Beta are Tutorial, Practice and Ranked, giving players several ways to play. Also, those who play the Invincible VS Open Beta will be treated to a bonus Omni-Man skin. More on that to come…
