Universa will join the fighter roster of Invincible VS as a downloadable content character on June 30, 2026 [1].

The addition introduces a character capable of shifting the game's competitive landscape by draining opponent boost meters. As a 3v3 tag fighting game, the introduction of new mechanics can fundamentally alter how players build their teams and execute strategies in high-stakes matches.

An official character-breakdown video released by IGN showcases the specific capabilities of the new fighter. The footage highlights Universa's staff-range attacks and her ability to drain the boost meters of opposing fighters [1]. These tools are designed to provide a tactical advantage by limiting the options available to opponents during combat.

Quarter Up, the first in-house game development studio for Skybound Entertainment, previously announced Universa alongside The Immortal [3]. The studio said these characters were revealed earlier this year during the Evo Awards to expand the game's roster of playable fighters [3].

Universa will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud, and PC via Steam and Xbox on PC [2]. Players at Evo will have the opportunity to test the character next weekend before the official launch [1].

Invincible VS is described as a brutal, tournament-quality superhero fighting game [2]. The game focuses on high-impact combat within a 3v3 tag format, aiming to simulate the most violent fights in the universe [2].

“Universa is the latest DLC character being added to Invincible VS”

The introduction of Universa represents a strategic expansion of the Invincible VS meta. By implementing a character that can drain boost meters, the developers are introducing a 'counter-meta' tool that forces players to move away from reliance on high-meter attacks, likely increasing the technical depth and viability of diverse team compositions in competitive play.
