COPENHAGEN - April 22, 2026 - 5th Planet Games A/S (OAX: 5PG), the Danish video
game financing and publishing company, today informs shareholders of the Season
Four conclusion of Skybound Entertainment's Invincible animated series on Prime
Video, while providing a summary of the extensive marketing activity surrounding
Invincible VS, the first major game to bring the Invincible universe to life.
Co-financed and co-distributed by 5th Planet Games, Invincible VS will launch
for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC next week on April 30, 2026. Skybound
Entertainment, and its first in-house game development studio Quarter Up, have
gone to great lengths to raise awareness of the game and foster a strong player
community among both Invincible fans and fighting game enthusiasts alike.
Invincible VS has received prominent first-party platform visibility across both
PlayStation and Microsoft's networks, including home page storefront placements,
supplementary blog features, and social media promotions. A global PR and
influencer outreach campaign, which began in 2025 and continues today, has
generated millions of impressions for the game. In recent weeks, the Quarter Up
team has hosted a series of public and private events across the US and Europe,
giving fans and tastemakers a chance to play, culminating in an Open Beta that
saw more than 2 million matches played worldwide.
Substantial effort has also gone into supporting a growing player community
across social media and through livestreams, video content, frequent developer
access points, updates and engagement. Additional advertising has extended
throughout the Amazon network, particularly relevant as Prime Video is home to
the Invincible animated series, with trade marketing efforts by global
distribution and retail partners at full throttle.
Expanding its core Invincible-licensed product slate, Skybound Entertainment is
also set to reveal a slew of VS-specific partnerships with companies like Funko
and Voodoo Ranger, among others, all which will deliver quality products
extending the Invincible VS experience beyond the screen for fans.
Mark Stanger, CEO of 5th Planet Games, commented: "Skybound Entertainment has
assembled a rock star team for this project. With deep roots in fighting game
development within Quarter Up, as well as a marketing and publishing division
with tenure spanning some of the most well-known and successful game publishers
and IP in the industry, Skybound has really laid an incredibly strong foundation
for Invincible VS. The impressive roll out of marketing activity and resulting
hype for the game these past several weeks and months is a true testament to the
experience and talent of this team."
Invincible VS draws from the acclaimed comic series by Robert Kirkman, Cory
Walker and Ryan Ottley, which ran for fifteen years at Image Comics across a
historic 146 issues before then becoming the critically acclaimed adult animated
television series it is today. Since 2021, the animated series has streamed
exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. Season 4
debuted on Prime Video in March to a 100% perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with
the season's concluding episode available to stream starting today.
Invincible VS features beloved characters, iconic locations and devastating
combos in a brutal, tournament-caliber tag-team fighting experience that
reflects Quarter Up's commitment to hard-hitting combat and deep respect for the
source material.
Physical boxed editions of Invincible VS, including a Standard Edition and
Collector's Edition, are now available for pre-order at select global retailers
and comic book shops. 5th Planet Games will further benefit from the
distribution of physical editions across the Nordic region under its partnership
agreement with Nordisk Interactive A/S
