Skybound Launches ‘Quarter Up’ In-House Video Game Studio

The debut offering will be ‘Invincible VS,’ a 3v3 tag fighting game set in the world of Skybound and Prime Video’s ‘Invincible,’ which is slated to launch in 2026.

Skybound Entertainment has launched Quarter Up, its first in-house video game studio. The company’s debut offering will be Invincible VS, a 3v3 tag fighting game set in the world of Skybound and Prime Video’s Invincible, which is slated to launch in 2026. Additional upcoming games are being kept under wraps.

“I think about our team as a group of fighting-game fans making games for the fighting-game community, and we’re trying to create a game that matches what people want,” said Skybound Games chief Chris Paulson in an interview with Variety. “And it doesn’t have to be this huge game that costs $100, it can be something more focused. And so we don’t really think about double A or triple A or whatever, we think about making a game for an audience, and we’re playing the game with the people that are going to be fans.”

Here's the launch trailer:

Quarter Up is headquartered in Los Angeles and boasts over 40 developers with experience at Activision Blizzard, Amazon Game Studios, Double Helix Games, Riot Games, Naughty Dog, Netflix and others.

“We’re hyper focused on this game right now,” said Invincible VS executive producer Mike Willette. “We want this game to amaze people. We want them to fall in love with the characters and the world of Invincible. There’s so much rich lore and badass-ness that we just want people to get their chance to play with us.”

“From a developer perspective, it’s just amazing that you have access to all these resources,” Willette noted “I’ve worked on projects before where you’re begging, borrowing, stealing just to find, ‘What is this? Can I get access to this?’ Here, it’s not a problem. We have decades’ worth of stuff to go back through comic-wise and access to the show and the creative team. So for us, couldn’t ask for anything better on the dev side.”
