Invincible VS Angstrom Levy has a date: 13 October
Invincible VS Angstrom Levy now has a firm release date. According to Xbox Wire, the villain arrives on 13 October 2026 as the third DLC fighter and the 21st playable character in Skybound's Invincible VS, the 3v3 tag fighter built by Quarter Up, Skybound Games' in-house studio. The announcement came on 1 October alongside a gameplay trailer.
The post runs under the headline 'Invincible VS Open Beta Begins October 13', which sits oddly next to a character announcement. The body text of the post is about Angstrom, not about a beta, and other outlets we checked, including Happy Gamer, describe 13 October as his release date within Season 2. We have not found a primary document that explains the 'open beta' wording, so we treat 13 October as the date he is playable and flag the headline as unexplained.
How Angstrom Levy plays: portals, orbs and zoning
Xbox Wire describes Angstrom as a zoning-focused fighter who rewards setups and strategy. His portals are meant to serve offence, defence and mobility, and he can summon orbs that interact with those portals in specific ways. Executive producer Mike Willette says the character 'rewards creativity' and encourages players to experiment with portal and orb combinations.
In the developers' own words, quoted by Happy Gamer, 'When we started thinking about how Angstrom should play in Invincible VS, we knew his portals had to be at the heart of everything he does.' That is design intent rather than tested reality. Nobody outside the studio has played the final build at scale, so how oppressive or fair the kit is will only be clear once the community has had the character for a few weeks.
The 3v3 tag format matters here. Xbox Wire says his team-based mechanics are designed to create 'seriously chaotic situations', and a character who places portals and orbs on screen gives a partner something to build around. Zoning characters tend to look strongest in tag fighters when an assist can cover the setup time, so Angstrom's real value may depend on who he is paired with.
“When we started thinking about how Angstrom should play in Invincible VS, we knew his portals had to be at the heart of everything he does.”
Who Angstrom Levy is in the story
Xbox Wire's lore summary says Angstrom was once a human with interdimensional travel abilities. After a catastrophic accident that enlarged his brain and exposed him to the memories of alternate versions of himself across the multiverse, his mind fractured. He now blames Invincible for his suffering.
That backstory is why portals are the natural hook. The character is defined by the multiverse, so a kit built on openings in space is a faithful translation rather than a gimmick. It also makes him a fitting DLC addition for a game that lives on its roster of recognisable villains and heroes.
Evo France: where you can try him first
Xbox Wire says Angstrom will be playable at Evo France in October, ahead of the 13 October launch. The post gives no specific dates, and we have not opened an organiser page that confirms them, so check the event's own schedule if you plan to attend.
A show-floor build is a short, supervised sample. It is useful for seeing the animations and the portal logic, but it says little about matchup depth. Treat early hands-on impressions the way you would treat any pre-release fighting game coverage: interesting, and not a verdict.
What Invincible VS costs right now
Xbox Wire lists Invincible VS at $49.99 and describes it as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and, per its headline, Xbox Cloud Gaming. We checked the Steam store API on the day of writing: the game is listed at $49.99 with a 40% discount that brings it to $29.99. Steam also lists a release date of 30 April 2026.
The Xbox Wire post does not give a price for Angstrom himself, and the Steam search we ran did not return a separate listing for him, so we cannot say what the character costs on its own. The DLC items that are listed, such as the Conquest Breakout skin at $4.99, show the game sells content in small pieces. Check the store page on 13 October before assuming a bundle price.
The reception so far
Steam shows 3,469 user reviews at 'Mostly Positive': 2,645 positive and 824 negative, which works out to about 76% positive. The page lists 15 DLC items. For a licensed fighting game roughly five months after launch, that is a solid but not rapturous reception, and it gives Season 2 a clear job: keep the player base engaged with a new character, a new mode and new skins.
Happy Gamer's summary of the announcement says Season 2 brings a new mode and new skins alongside Angstrom. We could not open a primary Skybound or Quarter Up document that lists the full Season 2 contents, so we are not relaying specifics beyond that attributed line.
What to watch on 13 October
Three things will tell you whether this is a meaningful update. First, whether the new mode and skins land on the same day as the character. Second, how the fighter is priced across Xbox, PC and Steam. Third, how the community rates his zoning once the first tier lists appear.
If you have been waiting for a reason to try the game, the current $29.99 Steam price is the cheapest entry we can verify. If you already own it, 13 October is the date to mark.
Frequently asked
When does Angstrom Levy come out in Invincible VS?
Angstrom Levy is scheduled for 13 October 2026, according to Xbox Wire's 1 October post. He is the third DLC fighter and the 21st playable character in the 3v3 tag fighter. Xbox Wire also says he will be playable at Evo France in October before release, though it gives no exact dates for that event. Other outlets describe 13 October as part of Season 2, so expect the character and the season content around the same day, but check the game's store pages for the final detail.
How does Angstrom Levy play in Invincible VS?
Xbox Wire calls him a zoning-focused fighter built around setups and strategy. His portals are used for offence, defence and mobility, and he can summon orbs that interact with those portals in unique ways. Executive producer Mike Willette says the character rewards creativity and experimentation with portal and orb combinations. In a 3v3 tag format, that kind of setup character is designed to create chaotic situations, so how strong he is will depend on partners and assists.
How much does Invincible VS cost?
Xbox Wire lists Invincible VS at $49.99. On Steam, the game is listed at $49.99 with a 40% discount to $29.99 at the time we checked, and Steam shows a release date of 30 April 2026. Discounts change, so look at the live store page before you buy. Neither source we opened gives a separate price for Angstrom Levy, so we cannot say what the character costs on its own.
Is Invincible VS on Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Play Anywhere?
Xbox Wire describes Invincible VS as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, which means a purchase covers Xbox and Windows PC. Its post lists Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming. We did not find a Game Pass listing in the sources we opened, so we are not claiming one. Check the Xbox store page if subscription access matters to you, since catalogue changes are announced separately.
What do players think of Invincible VS on Steam?
Steam shows 3,469 reviews with a 'Mostly Positive' rating. Of those, 2,645 are positive and 824 are negative, about 76% positive. The page also lists 15 DLC items. That is a decent reception for a licensed fighting game about five months after launch, but not a runaway hit score. A new character and Season 2 content are the main tools the studio has to keep players coming back.
What is Evo France and why does it matter for Angstrom?
Evo France is a fighting game tournament, and Xbox Wire says Angstrom Levy will be playable there in October ahead of the 13 October release. For players, it is the first chance to try the character hands-on. The post does not list dates, so we are not stating any. Event builds are short samples, so treat early impressions as a taste of the animations and portal logic rather than a final judgment of the character.
