Invincible fans: it’s a big day. We’ve got another fan-favorite character joining the roster for our upcoming 3v3 tag fighting game, Invincible VS, and this one is out of this world – literally. Adding to our stacked lineup of characters like Mark Grayson (Invincible), Rex Splode, Omni-Man, Ella Mental and more, comes everyone’s favorite intergalactic, one-eyed hero, Allen the Alien!
We know fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation that Allen is coming to Invincible VS, and we’re so excited to finally make it official with a uniquely animated trailer to accompany the news. But once you check that out, you’ll find that’s not all we have for you…
In addition to our Allen the Alien reveal, we’re excited to announce that our Open Beta is coming to Xbox Series X|S on April 9! The Open Beta invites players to jump in, throw down and find their early favorite fighter, as we’ll have 10 characters from our roster to choose from: Mark Grayson (Invincible), Atom Eve, Bulletproof, Thula, Rex Splode, Battle Beast, Omni Man, Robot, Monster Girl and of course, Allen the Alien. Now, more about him…
Born in a Unopan breeding facility, Allen the Alien was the sole success in a mission to create a warrior strong enough to face the all-powerful Viltrumite race. Despite the weight of his origins, Allen is quite the jokester, cracking quippy one-liners in between punches. Through his service to the Coalition of Planets, he has proven himself one of Invincible’s greatest allies in the fight against the Empire. And even when enemies think Allen is near death, he always seems to come back stronger.
In Invincible VS, Allen is an immensely powerful “Striker” fighter, using his mobility, superhuman strength and grappling ability to downright beat up anyone who stands in his way. He keeps opponents on their heels with his incredible Unopan strength, and excels in mix-up scenarios where he can bait fighters and hit them with his armored stance. Allen’s high-octane gameplay style can be tricky to master, but doing so will result in flashy, creative combos that leave any and all challengers in his wake.
Like you, we’re all big fans of Allen here at Quarter Up. He’s undeniably funny, but at the same time, he is a serious threat to his foes, and that is 100% evident in our game.
“Allen is an important piece of the Invinciblepuzzle and he’s going to be having a huge spring betweenseason four of the animated series and Invincible VS,” said Robert Kirkman, co-creator of Invincible. “He’s got the jokes, but he backs up his sharp wit with even sharper hits and leaves opponents looking like the punchline. We’re really excited to see what players can do with him in our Open Beta soon.”
We hope you’re gearing up to throw down as Allen and plenty others from the Invincible VS roster as we approach our Open Beta very soon. Let’s see what you got!
Players can head to the Xbox Store on April 9 to jump into the Invincible VS Open Beta on Xbox Series X|S.
