The Invincible franchise has continued expanding beyond its original comic book roots, with the animated series introducing its brutal superhero world to a much wider audience through the animated series (Invincible season 5 is expected in early 2027). Its mix of graphic violence, complicated heroes, and familiar comic book archetypes has also created plenty of opportunities for new stories outside the main series, as the animated series set the baseline for the franchise to expand.
And the animated series has set a high bar for that expansion. Invincible Season 4 has an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on more than 500 ratings. Critics largely praise the season for combining brutal superhero action with emotionally complex storytelling, while some point to pacing and animation as continuing weaknesses.
Agent Spider Swings Into Invincible VS
Now, in another avenue for the franchise, a new Invincible VS release has been confirmed for Winter 2026, with Agent Spider officially revealed as Invincible VS‘s next DLC release. The character will join the roster as part of Season 3 and the Year 1 Character Pass, with a new reveal trailer offering a first look at his appearance in the fighting game. Josh Keaton, who voiced Agent Spider in the animated Invincible series, is also returning to play the character. His casting gives the announcement an additional connection to the show, while the Winter 2026 window establishes when players can expect the new content.

Agent Spider is an especially recognizable addition for fans familiar with the superhero archetypes that Invincible likes to twist and reinterpret. The character serves as Invincible‘s Spider-Man-inspired hero, bringing a different flavor to a roster populated by superpowered fighters. His arrival could also give players new options for comps and match-ups, although the full extent of his abilities will become clearer as more gameplay footage is released. For now, the reveal trailer provides the first look at how Agent Spider will fit into Invincible VS.
The Winter 2026 release is also expected to bring a new arena and game mode alongside Agent Spider. Those additions could give the update more value for existing players, particularly if the new mode introduces different ways to approach matches. However, further details about both features have yet to be released. Agent Spider’s inclusion is the main attraction for now, especially for players interested in seeing another corner of the Invincible universe represented in the fighting game’s roster.
With Agent Spider joining Invincible VS in Winter 2026, the game has another DLC addition for players to anticipate as its post-launch support continues. All in all, Keaton’s return makes the reveal particularly notable for fans of the animated series, while the promised arena and game mode give the upcoming release a little more to offer than a new fighter alone.
