New Crowdfunding Campaign For Invincible AAA Project Goes Live, But Only For Two Weeks

One of the biggest animated series – Invincible – after its recent surge on Prime Video is now on the way for a video game adaptation. Well, not just yet at least. In a new Republic crowdfunding campaign set up by Skybound Entertainment, the publisher is asking for $5 million to kick off a new AAA Invincible game. However, the window to gather backings is only live for two weeks.

“Most crowdfunded video games are centered around indie games and retail investors rarely have the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of AAA game publishers. Skybound is developing a highly produced, high-octane blood bath that is anything but indie. Our bona fide global hit IP, Invincible, is at the center, and we’ve hand-picked our own team, consisting of more than 30 gaming industry veterans to make it happen,” the campaign description reads.

By developing this game in-house, under complete control of our team of franchise stakeholders and Invincible IP creator Robert Kirkman himself, we are creating a highly coveted game that is guaranteed to have fans of the comic, the global hit TV show, and serious gamers alike, wholly captivated by this first-of-its-kind Invincible experience. Plus, by creating this project in-house, we will reap the benefits of being the IP rights owner, developer, and publisher, providing increased value to our stakeholders.

You’ve never seen a game like this from Skybound before. We have a talented team of more than 30 experienced employees from the likes of Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts (EA), Epic Games, and more as the driving force behind our in-house studio. The studio will be headed by newly appointed Head of Games Publishing, Chris Paulson (formerly of Activision Blizzard), and EVP of Games Production, Patrick Gilmore (formerly of Amazon Games).  

“Invincible is under development with a team of veteran developers with decades-long careers and multiple AAA games to their credit. With cutting-edge competitive gameplay, premium production values, and the most advanced online and technical foundations, Invincible will release under a premium model with multiple DLC expansions and special editions designed to cater to every level of fandom.”

It continues: “In both competitive and local play modes, the game is designed to contribute new stories to the Invincible multiverse, enabling future releases, expansions, new character arcs and adventures for years to come.” Details remain light on the direction the game will go in, but as of reporting the Republic campaign has only generated $463,380 – short 10 percent of the $5 million budget asked.

Elsewhere, Invincible character Omni-Man recently starred in a different title. Back in November, the character was featured in Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the Kombat Pack post-launch plan. You can read the full report by heading here,
