Invincible VS is swinging Agent Spider into the roster this winter as the fourth fighter in its Year 1 Character Pass, complete with a new mode and arena to boot. Skybound and Quarter Up dropped the reveal trailer right before EVO France, teasing a web-slinging kit that fans immediately clocked as the show's Spider-Man stand-in voiced by Josh Keaton. The 3v3 tag fighter has been bleeding players since its April 30 launch — Steam charts show current concurrent numbers hovering between 20-40 after an all-time peak near 8,000 — so this DLC drop is the latest lifeline attempt.

Community reaction is mixed but loud. X posts range from hype picks like "I'm already picking him first" to side-eye at the roster feeling thin on truly unique Invincible characters, with some calling it a safe Spider-Man cash-in while others welcome the moveset potential. Reddit threads from earlier in development had fans wishlist-ing Agent Spider alongside heavier hitters like Conquest, showing the character has been on the radar since the datamines leaked months ago.

The package lands after Season Two's Angstrom Levy update on October 13, which itself brings Challenges Mode and combo trials. For a fighting game built on a niche IP, adding a recognizable web-head with portal-adjacent seasons around him makes sense on paper — whether it actually moves the needle for the dwindling player base is the real bracket reset.
