Invincible creator Robert Kirkman says growth on a online game is in progress.
Following the franchise’s crossover with the Fall Guys online game and information about its live-action adaptation, the Invincible superhero collection may truly change into a recreation in its personal proper. The franchise co-creator Robert Kirkman has opened up extra about the way forward for the animated franchise, particularly relating to video video games. Admittedly, the Invincible recreation was beforehand teased in 2022, however that is truly the primary time we heard one of many creatives discuss it.
Based on ComicBook, Kirkman acknowledged that Skybound Leisure’s plans for the collection are fairly wide-ranging relating to gaming. The co-creator didn’t dive into specifics however has indicated that something is feasible. This encapsulates a devoted AAA gaming title and crossovers with distinguished battle-royale platforms, similar to Fortnite—which was charged a ridiculous sum for its privateness breaches.
Nonetheless, none of those plans are literally set in stone, so no one truly is aware of how the tip end result will prove. Kirkman acknowledged that the gaming plans for Invincible are all-encompassing however that they’re most likely nonetheless years away. He additionally toyed with the fandom’s hearts by stating that each one of that finally could not come to cross and that a few of their gaming-related plans may die earlier than taking their first breath.
No matter occurs, he promised to make the followers of the collection completely satisfied as soon as all the things comes collectively. Fairly obscure, to make sure, however that’s about one of the best we are able to get in the intervening time, contemplating that there’s no information concerning energetic growth. So, take all data with a grain of salt.
In addition to, given the present state of affairs within the gaming market, Kirkman, Walker, Ottley (the co-creators), and Skybound Leisure ought to select the potential Invincible recreation developer/writer rigorously. Marvel, and by extension Disney, made a horrible selection by signing Sq. Enix because the writer for 2020’s Marvel’s Avengers—the sport’s lackluster launch led to a loss in participant counts from which the title by no means recuperated. Subsequently, Crystal Dynamics, Sq. Enix’s first-party studio and developer of Marvel’s Avengers, only recently introduced its plans to drag the plug on the sport.
We wouldn’t like several gaming launch to undergo the identical destiny as Marvel’s Avengers. The sport had a lot potential to change into an enormous hit, and it’s the identical factor with the Invincible—it’s massively fashionable proper now, virtually 20 years after it was birthed into the world, and a superb chunk of the fandom could be wholly disillusioned if the potential recreation turned out to be an enormous gaming flop pushed by nothing else however the developer/writer’s overaccentuated monetization efforts and ways.
As acknowledged, Invincible turned 20 only recently, and the franchise celebrated its anniversary with a Fall Guys crossover. The franchise remained largely undetected by mainstream audiences till Amazon Prime Video determined to launch the collection’ first season. For sure, the collection was an enormous success which launched the franchise to a wider viewers, prompting Amazon to fee the making of a second season, which is meant to drop someday this 12 months.
In actual fact, many have interpreted the aforementioned crossover between Fall Guys and Invincible as an indication that the collection’ growth is in “good well being.” In conclusion, whereas there’s some energetic growth behind the franchise, the information concerning the Invincible video games needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as there’s nonetheless no energetic growth on any gaming titles tied to the franchise.
