Invincible VS Devs Open to Mortal Kombat Crossover, Scorpion Eyed
The developers behind the upcoming 3v3 fighter **Invincible VS** are enthusiastic about the possibility of a crossover with the brutal **Mortal Kombat** franchise. Lead designers have expressed a desire for guest characters who can fit the violent tone of their universe.
The vibrant, violent universe of Invincible might soon collide with another realm of ultimate fighting. Developers at the studio behind the highly anticipated Invincible VS have revealed their openness to incorporating guest characters from other IPs, with the Mortal Kombat franchise topping their wish list.
During a recent sit-down at Evo 2026, Invincible VS Game Director Dave Hall and Lead Combat Designer Bau Bautista discussed the potential for crossovers. While emphasizing that any guest character must reasonably fit within the established tone of the Invincible universe – ruling out characters like Mario due to their inherent lack of brutality – they enthusiastically welcomed the idea of characters from more mature, action-packed franchises. Bautista specifically mentioned Scorpion as a desirable inclusion, stating, "If there's an opportunity, I'm not going to say no to Scorpion."
"I think for us, the Invincible universe is just such a beautiful, violent universe that they would have to fit that. I wouldn't want to put Mario or Luigi in there. That'd be cool, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to rip his head off." — Dave Hall
This sentiment is particularly resonant given the history of crossovers within Invincible comics. "One of the things to keep in mind is, Invincible has a ton of guests and crossovers throughout the comics, so it's not outside the realm of possibility," Bautista added. The developers also lauded NetherRealm Studios, the creators of Mortal Kombat, calling them "the best."
A Community Dream Matchup
The prospect of seeing characters from Mortal Kombat duking it out with the superpowered cast of Invincible is sure to excite fans of both franchises. Fighting games have seen a surge in guest character inclusions, with recent examples like Tekken 8 adding Yujiro Hanma and Street Fighter 6 featuring Tifa Lockhart. Invincible VS aims to deliver a competitive 3v3 tag team experience with advanced netcode, a different approach from Mortal Kombat 1's 1v1 mechanics. However, the shared DNA of brutal combat and a willingness to explore unique character integrations makes this potential crossover a perfect storm for fighting game enthusiasts.
What's Next
Invincible VS is slated for a 2026 release, with more fighter reveals and events planned leading up to launch. Fans eager to see how this potential Mortal Kombat collaboration might unfold will be keeping a close eye on future announcements from the development team.
This potential crossover highlights the growing trend of IP mashups in fighting games, blending the visceral action of **Invincible VS** with the iconic gore of **Mortal Kombat**.
