The Unstoppable Game: Ubisoft's Next Big Franchise Breaks All Boundaries

Highlights

Ubisoft has recently revealed a forthcoming mobile game called Invincible: Guarding the Globe, inspired by the Invincible franchise. This game's launch is expected to align with the release of Invincible season 2.

Exciting opportunities lie ahead for the future of Invincible video games, allowing players to create their own team of characters.

Amazon Prime has become the go-to platform for prestigious superhero TV shows. Despite Disney+ releasing numerous Marvel shows, their overwhelming quantity has repelled many fans. However, this does not diminish the desire to witness stories from other comic book franchises. Amazon has two such intellectual properties ready to captivate audiences. While The Boys reigns as Amazon's primary superhero property, Invincible closely follows, showcasing exceptional quality that rivals the top position.

Ubisoft's Mobile Invincible Game Should Be The First of Many

Invincible, an animated show based on the Image Comics character of the same name, follows the journey of Mark Grayson, a young high schooler who happens to be the son of the world-famous Omni-Man. Mark takes on his own superhero identity and encounters numerous twists, turns, violence, and gore throughout the captivating first season. While eager fans await the second season of Invincible, Ubisoft has exciting news—the development of an Invincible mobile game. This marks just the beginning for the expansion of the franchise.

Recently announced, Invincible: Guarding the Globe is an upcoming mobile RPG where players can lead a team of famous Invincible characters to combat various formidable adversaries. These include Flaxan soldiers and a mysterious species of doppelgangers who possess the ability to mimic the powers of Invincible and his allies. Although fans can pre-register now, the release date of Invincible: Guarding the Globe has not been finalized. However, it is expected to coincide with the premiere of Invincible season 2, which is likely to be in a few months' time.

While Ubisoft's Invincible mobile game is an enjoyable adaptation of the source material, it barely scratches the surface of the potential that the Invincible franchise holds for the gaming industry. Superhero properties are plentiful these days, but exceptional ones like Invincible are rare, and the potential for a video game adaptation of the IP makes it even more scarce. If the Amazon Invincible adaptation continues to succeed, this Ubisoft game could pave the way for numerous video game spinoffs in the future.

When it comes to developing an Invincible video game, the possibilities are endless. However, the most intriguing option would be creating a fully immersive third-person action-adventure game, similar to Marvel's Spider-Man. A high-quality Invincible game could finally deliver the Superman video game experience that fans have long desired, without the associated pressure. Players would have access to super flight, super strength, and super speed, and with the implementation of a realistic physics engine, a top-tier Invincible game would be truly awe-inspiring.

A potential idea for an Invincible video game could be a Marvel Ultimate Alliance-style beat-em-up game. Players would have the opportunity to create their own team of iconic Guardians of the Globe characters and engage in street battles against enemies from a top-down isometric perspective. They would be able to switch between characters, utilizing their unique powers to defeat the on-screen horde of enemies. Another possibility is a fighting game, where players can engage in epic battles with their favorite characters on either a 2D or 3D plane. If Omni-Man is indeed included in Mortal Kombat 1, as leaked information suggests, it would set a precedent for an Invincible fighting game. Currently, Invincible: Guarding the Globe is being developed for mobile devices.
