COPENHAGEN – April 17, 2026 – 5th Planet Games A/S (OAX: 5PG), the Danish video game financing and publishing company, today provides shareholders with the following update about Invincible VS, the upcoming tag fighting video game co-financed and co-distributed by 5th Planet Games. Skybound Entertainment’s first in-house game development studio Quarter Up hosted a global Open Beta starting on April 9th, during which players had a chance to step into the Invincible VS arena before the game’s April 30th launch.

Skybound and Quarter Up recently revealed some of the most interesting stats from the weekend on social media including that over 2 million matches took place, and 368 of those matches were completed by one dedicated player alone. As a brutal tag fighting game, Quarter Up also noted that over 12.4 million limbs were lost in battle throughout the Open Beta.

Participants could fight as 10 of 18-launch roster characters, while experiencing six unique arenas and three available game modes. Players and media alike shared overall positive feedback from the experience, with Quarter Up then extending the beta period by an extra day. Hundreds of media posted stories about Invincible VS preceding and following Open Beta, with many content creators streaming their experience as well. Quarter Up gathered valuable feedback from participants on the game’s systems and gameplay, helping inform final refinements ahead of global launch.

The Open Beta followed a highly productive period of marketing activity in March for Invincible VS. Over the course of just four weeks the Quarter Up team revealed 4 of 18 major characters, participated in multiple experiential events introducing the game to Invincible fans and the fighting game community, while sharing an abundance of compelling online content and livestreams.

Mark Stanger, CEO of 5th Planet Games, commented: “Awareness and anticipation continue to grow for Invincible VS. Quarter Up and Skybound Entertainment’s flurry of marketing activity in recent weeks has perfectly stacked on top of the overwhelmingly positive hype surrounding Season 4 of the Prime Video series. This has culminated of course into what we witnessed this past weekend – a global community of enthusiastic fans who dove headfirst into the Invincible VS Open Beta. Our hope is that this provides a glimpse at what we can expect with the game’s launch.”

Invincible VS will launch for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC on April 30, 2026. Physical boxed editions, including a Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition, are now available for pre-order at select global retailers and comic book shops.

Co-financier of Invincible VS, 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; across Eastern Europe in partnership with Glomerk SA; and across the Benelux region in association with BIGBEN Interactive Belgium S.A.

Invincible VS is the first major game to bring the Invincible universe to life, drawing from the acclaimed comic series by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. Built from the ground up, the game 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.

The Invincible comic book series ran for fifteen years at Image Comics across a historic 146 issues. Since 2021, Invincible has aired as a critically acclaimed adult animated television series and taken on a new life with fans globally, streaming 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. The season finale will be released on April 22, 2026, just one week prior to Invincible VS’ launch.
