The Invincible VS Devs Would Love a Mortal Kombat Crossover

The minds behind Invincible VS are open to collaborations with other genres and IPs, specifically in regards to welcoming potential guest characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise.We got the chance to sit down with Invincible VS’s Game Director, Dave Hall, and its Lead Combat Designer, Bau Bautista, at Evo 2026, where we asked them about the possibility of adding guest characters from completely different properties a la Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8.Both Hall and Bautista enthusiastically welcomed the idea, but made sure to preface that the characters would have to reasonably fit within Invincible's world for such a crossover to make sense.
