Invincible VS adds Allen the Alien; PS5 and Xbox Series open beta test set for April 9 to 11
Everyone's favorite extraterrestrial.
Allen the Alien will be one of 18 playable characters available at launch in three-versus-three tag fighting game Invincible VS, publisher Skybound Games and developer Quarter Up announced. An open beta test will run from April 9 to 11 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
“Allen is an important piece of the Invincible puzzle and he’s going to be having a huge spring between season four of the animated series and Invincible VS,” said Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman in a press release. “He’s got the jokes, but he backs up his sharp wit with even sharper hits and leaves opponents looking like the punchline. We’re really excited to see what players can do with him in our open beta soon.”
Here is his character description:
Born in a Unopan breeding facility, Allen the Alien was the sole success in a mission to create a warrior strong enough to face the all-powerful Viltrumite race. Despite the weight of his origins, Allen is quite the jokester, cracking quippy one-liners in between punches. Through his service to the Coalition of Planets, he has proven himself one of Invincible’s greatest allies in the fight against the Empire. And even when enemies think Allen is near death, he always seems to come back stronger than before.
In Invincible VS, Allen is an immensely powerful “Striker” fighter, using his mobility, superhuman strength and grappling ability to downright beat up anyone who stands in his way. He keeps opponents on their heels with his incredible Unopan strength, and excels in mix-up scenarios where he can bait fighters and hit them with his armored stance. Allen’s high-octane gameplay style can be tricky to master, but doing so will result in flashy, creative combos that leave any and all challengers in his wake.
The open beta test will feature 10 playable characters—Mark Grayson (Invincible), Atom Eve, Bulletproof, Thula, Rex Splode, Battle Beast, Omni Man, Robot, Monster Girl, and Allen the Alien—and six arenas—Hometown Invasion (Night), Moon , Ka-Hor’s Tomb (Day), Himalayas, Kinetic Chamber, and Training Room.
Invincible VS is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on April 30.
