Free League Publishing and Skybound Entertainment have announced Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying, an upcoming tabletop roleplaying game based on the popular comic book series Invincible by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley. The comic, which has also been adapted into an animated series on Prime Video, is known for its expansive storytelling and unique take on the superhero genre.
The tabletop RPG will allow players to create their own superheroes and explore the world of Invincible, engaging in adventures inspired by the comic’s themes and narrative style. The game is set to launch on Kickstarter later this year, and fans can sign up for notifications on the pre-launch page. The initial release will include a Core Rulebook and a Starter Set, featuring artwork by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, with graphic design by Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG).
Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying is being designed by Adam Bradford, founder of D&D Beyond and a producer for Dungeons & Dragons, Cortex Prime, and Marvel titles, alongside Tomas Härenstam, co-founder of Free League and lead designer of games such as ALIEN RPG, Blade Runner RPG, and Mutant: Year Zero.
Bradford expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating:
“Invincible is my favorite comic series, and I’ve wanted to play in this universe for many years. The way the story unfolds in a sprawling saga over the course of 144 issues – without endless retconning – lends itself particularly well to tabletop roleplaying, and I can’t wait for fans to experience their own superhero stories with the game,” says Adam Bradford.
Härenstam also shared his perspective, noting:
“One of my very first tabletop roleplaying games was the old Marvel Superheroes by TSR, and making a superhero RPG has been a lifelong dream. I think the genre, and Invincible’s more grounded and visceral take on it, is a great fit for the Year Zero Engine game mechanics,”
While specific details about the gameplay have not yet been revealed, Free League has confirmed that the game will use the Year Zero Engine, known for its adaptability and focus on narrative-driven experiences.
Free League plans to share more information about the game in the weeks and months leading up to the Kickstarter launch. The exact date for the campaign will be announced at a later time.
