Universa Joins Invincible VS June 30 as the Game's First DLC Fighter

Universa is not a standalone game. She is a new playable fighter coming to Invincible VS, the 3v3 tag fighting game from Quarter Up and Skybound Games. She arrives June 30, 2026.

If you searched her name expecting a game to buy, here is the short version. You buy Invincible VS, then you get Universa as DLC. She is one of the first two DLC fighters, launching alongside The Immortal as part of the big Season 1 update.

So who is she? Universa is an alien warrior who came to Earth to siphon energy for her dying planet. She had a brief appearance in the Invincible TV show, but Quarter Up built her out with a full moveset for the game. Her kit revolves around her Staff of Leadership and her control over electricity. She places and throws electrical orbs around the screen. She has a grab or extended hit that drains the opponent's Boost Gauge. She can also raise a forcefield that eats projectiles for a few seconds, which is bad news for anyone playing zoners like Cecil.

Here is how you actually get her. Universa is part of the Invincible VS Year 1 Character Pass, which comes bundled with the Digital Deluxe edition. You can also buy her on her own as standalone DLC when she launches. You cannot play her without owning the base game first.

The base game costs $49.99 on Steam, the Microsoft Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It launched April 30, 2026, with an 18-character roster and four modes. The lineup pulls from the comics and show: Mark Grayson, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Cecil, Robot, and more.

Is Invincible VS any good? Reviews land in the solid-but-mixed range. Critics gave it a 77 on Metacritic across the PC reviews, and user scores sit around the same area. The common verdict: the fighting system has real depth, online play is responsive, and matches are fun to watch and play. Some reviewers wanted more single-player content for the price. If you came for the combat, most people agree it delivers.

What fans like is the source material done right. This is a brutal, bloody fighter that leans into the Invincible tone instead of softening it. The fights are gory by design. The tag mechanics let you swap your three-fighter team mid-combo, which is the heart of the game. Quarter Up includes former Killer Instinct developers, and the fighting-game crowd noticed that pedigree early.

If you are new and want to try before buying, watch for Evo 2026. Skybound confirmed Universa will have a playable demo there the weekend before her launch, so you can see her in action before she hits the store.

Should you care about Universa specifically? If you already own Invincible VS and you like technical, balanced fighters, she looks like a strong pickup. Her electricity tools and the projectile-eating forcefield add something the current roster does not have. If you do not own the game yet, she is a reason to look at the Deluxe edition, since the Year 1 Pass covers her plus the fighters still coming in Fall and Winter 2026.
