Invincible’s Next Chapter: Season 5 Set for 2027 and More on the Way
The Invincible universe is still pushing outward from its comic and animated origins, and recent updates hint that the franchise’s presence in geek culture may be building toward a bigger, longer-running plan. For now, Invincible viewers are focused on the show’s next chapter—Season 5 is scheduled to arrive in early 2027—but there’s also plenty happening around the IP before then.
Outside the animated series, Invincible is set to expand in multiple directions. A new movie is planned for the “near-to-far” future, and a video game release has already joined the party. Invincible VS launched earlier this year, and it recently rolled out Season 1 on June 30. Just a couple of days later, on July 2, the game received a hotfix aimed at improving balance and adding backend improvements ahead of upcoming seasonal content drops. On top of that, the roster has been actively growing: Universa and The Immortal were added as playable fighters, and the game is already looking toward additional expansion in October.
In a separate bit of franchise trivia that Invincible fans will likely recognize from other pop-culture crossovers, this is the first time since Beerus was introduced in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods that a new category of Gods of Destruction is set to be added soon.
Invincible VS Season 2 and the October 2026 DLC Question
Invincible VS is gearing up for its next live-service stretch: Season 2 is set to begin in October. No exact day has been announced yet, but players should expect a similar structure to what landed in Season 1. That means more cosmetics, a brand-new gameplay mode, and a fresh ranked season reset. Alongside that, the roadmap also points to broader quality-of-life improvements meant to tighten up balance while boosting system stability. The main uncertainty heading into October is which Invincible DLC fighter will be revealed—at least as of this writing, no character has been officially confirmed.

Even though QuarterUp and Skybound Games haven’t named the upcoming DLC character publicly, there’s been plenty of speculation—especially after a leak surfaced that reportedly outlined the full downloadable roster for Invincible VS. After Universa and The Immortal, the leaked list claims there are six additional fighters planned: The Mauler Twins, Agent Spider, Damien Darkblood, Angstrom Levy, Dinosaurus, and Volcannika. As always with leaks, it’s something to treat cautiously, but the ordering detail makes the next two names feel especially plausible. The Mauler Twins or Agent Spider are often the most “logical” guesses because, in the leaked sequence, they appear as the next step after Universa and The Immortal.

- Immortal (Confirmed)
- Universa (Confirmed)
- The Mauler Twins (Leaked)
- Agent Spider (Leaked)
- Damien Darkblood (Leaked)
- Angstrom Levy (Leaked)
- Dinosaurus (Leaked)
- Volcannika (Leaked)
Looking past October, Invincible VS Season 3 is already mapped out for December. That season is expected to bring another new fighter, an additional arena, and more cosmetic content, continuing the broader live-service roadmap that keeps expanding the Invincible game’s place in the franchise. The pacing matters: it suggests the developers want to grow the fighting game in tandem with the wider Invincible brand, rather than treating it like a one-and-done adaptation. For example, if Season 4 follows soon after, it could be lining up closely with the next season of Invincible Prime. Fighting game players are likely to appreciate that kind of ongoing support, and general fans of Invincible may be encouraged too—especially since the game’s launch wasn’t exactly described as “smooth.”

In a review of Invincible VS, one critique summed up the experience by pointing out that the moment-to-moment fighting is where it shines, saying that if you’re hooked by the gameplay during matches, you’ll likely find a “sweet spot” overall. At the same time, the review also argued that the package feels a bit light—calling it a content-lean, $50 3v3 fighting game built on a recognizable franchise that, in the end, can feel optional for people who are only interested because of the IP. With Season 2 and the roadmap continuing to expand, the hope is that future updates reduce that “optional” feeling and make the game more essential for everyone who enjoys Invincible in any form.
