At Evo 2026, Invincible VS game director Dave Hall and lead combat designer Bau Bautista confirmed they are open to adding guest fighters from other franchises, provided the characters match the series' brutal aesthetic. Both cited the Mortal Kombat universe as a natural fit, with Hall specifically mentioning NetherRealm and Bautista saying he wouldn’t turn down a chance to include Scorpion.
The developers noted that guest appearances are already a hot trend in the fighting‑game scene—Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, and Fatal Fury have all introduced crossover characters this year. They also explained that a revive ability originally planned for Atom Eve was delayed until the roster’s core mechanics solidify, citing quality concerns. Bautista hinted the move could return once the meta stabilizes.
Hall and Bautista emphasized their close monitoring of community feedback across Discord, social media, and direct messages, promising rapid patches and new content. While they assured more single‑player experiences are in development, they offered no firm timeline for the story mode’s continuation, noting the studio’s modest size of about 50 staff members.
