Xbox Games Showcase 2025: Invincible Fighting Game Makes Its Gory Debut
Skybound Games and their in-house studio, Quarter Up, which specializes in fighters, are of the same opinion as, during the Xbox Games Showcase, they unveiled Invincible VS, an appropriately brutal, bloody and frenetic, considering the adapted material, 3v3 tag fighter. Surprisingly, Invincible VS the trailer does not actually show the game's tag system in play, instead opting to cut to a different fight altogether in order to convey that effect, but, fighting game fans can probably expect a twist on the feature that made titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ so beloved within the fighting game community.
The comparison to these two fighting game tournament mainstays does not end here, either, as Quarter Up seems intent on delivering a game of 'tournament-quality', assuming one that would be featured during EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.
What's more, Quarter Up has also partnered with the team behind the animated show for a story mode for Invincible VS. No more details are yet known about this story mode, but as the trailer shows, fans can rest assured that Omni-Man, together with Thula and Black Samson, will likely be throwing fists with Invincible, who is joined up by Atom Eve and Red Rush, across a variety of locations such as a city (presumably New York or Chicago), snow-capped mountains and even the surface of the Moon as part of the game's narrative.
Invincible VS will release on Xbox Series X/S, Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.

INVINCIBLE Season 4 Adds Matthew Rhys as Dinosaurus and Here's Why That's Huge — GeekTyrant
Invincible fans got some exciting news out of San Diego Comic-Con as it was confirmed that Matthew Rhys ( The Americans ) has officially joined the cast for Season 4. We also now know that he will be voicing the character Dinosaurus, a fan-favorite character from the comics who's about to shake things up in a major way. The announcement came during Robert Kirkman's panel at SDCC, and if you weren't there, the official Invincible X/Twitter account had you covered, sharing a look at the character in all his red dinosaur glory. At first glance, you might think Dinosaurus is just another monster-of-the-week for Mark Grayson to smash through, but if you know the comics, you know this guy is a game-changer. Dinosaurus is not your average mindless brute. Debuting in issue #68, this highly intelligent dinosaur-hybrid is actually the split personality of scientist David Anders. Think Spider-Man's Lizard, but with a moral compass that's way more complicated. Dinosaurus genuinely wants to save the world, focusing on environmental preservation, and that shared sense of purpose brings him and Mark together as unlikely allies. But this is Invincible , so you know things won't stay simple for long. After a falling out with Cecil, Dinosaurus starts walking a fine line between hero and villain, forcing Mark to grapple with some serious ethical dilemmas. Without spoiling too much, let's just say his story arc is one of the most compelling in the series, an ally who becomes an antagonist in a way that hits hard and feels earned. Rhys taking on this role is a fantastic choice. The guy has serious acting chops, and his voice work could give Dinosaurus the depth and nuance fans would want for the character. As the looming Viltrumite war inches closer, Dinosaurus is going to be a key piece of Mark's journey, pushing him to define what kind of hero he really wants to be. Invincible Season 4 is currently in production, and with a fifth season already greenlit, the future of the series on Prime Video looks incredible. Buckle up, because if the show stays true to the comics, Dinosaurus is going to deliver some of the wildest, most thought-provoking moments yet.

The Mighty Nein Season 1: Release date, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 25, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 25, 2025, 11:03 IST If you've been counting down the days since The Legend of Vox Machina wrapped up its latest season, you're not alone. But now, there's even more to get excited about: The Mighty Nein —the next animated series based on Critical Role's second Dungeons & Dragons campaign—is officially dropping on November 19, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Yep, the chaotic crew of lovable outcasts, accidental heroes, and emotional wrecks (in the best way) is coming to life in animation. And if you thought Vox Machina brought the drama, just wait until you meet this bunch. When Exactly Is The Mighty Nein Coming Out? The release date was finally confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con 2025—and it's set for November 19. While there haven't been a ton of production updates, the creators have said the show is well past the halfway point. Voice work, animation tests, and storyboarding are mostly locked in, and fans got a sneak peek in 2024 of Fjord and Jester's first meeting. That short clip already had fans buzzing about the tone, style, and emotional depth. We don't have an official episode count yet, but it's expected to follow a similar format to Vox Machina —so around 30 minutes per episode, and yep, a TV-MA rating. Expect swearing, blood, trauma, and some very questionable decisions (you know the drill). Who's in the Cast? The best part? The original Critical Role cast is back to voice all of their characters. That means we're getting: Travis Willingham as Fjord , the broody half-orc warlock with a sea monster problem (hi, Uk'otoa). Laura Bailey as Jester , your favorite chaos-loving tiefling cleric who leaves drawings of dicks in holy books. Liam O'Brien as Caleb , the traumatized wizard who smells like old books and regret. Sam Riegel as Nott the Brave —later known as Veth —a goblin rogue trying to find her way home. Ashley Johnson as Yasha , a quiet barbarian with a seriously tragic backstory and a lot of swords. Marisha Ray as Beau , the human monk who punches problems until they stop being problems. Taliesin Jaffe doing double duty as Mollymauk Tealeaf , the flamboyant blood hunter, and later Caduceus Clay , the tea-drinking firbolg cleric who talks to mushrooms. And of course, Matthew Mercer will voice all the extra characters, monsters, and villains—just like he did in Vox Machina . On top of that, we've got Ming-Na Wen and Mark Strong joining the voice cast in undisclosed roles, which is already giving us chills. You just know they're going to be incredible. What's The Mighty Nein Actually About? Set in Wildemount, about 20 years after Vox Machina's big adventure, The Mighty Nein follows a group of broken, messy, occasionally criminal people who somehow end up saving the world (kind of). At first, they're just trying to survive. But when a dangerous magical artifact shows up—one that could literally reshape reality—they get dragged into something way bigger than themselves. This story leans more into political drama, redemption arcs, and serious emotional baggage, compared to the more traditional fantasy quest vibes of Vox Machina . Expect moral gray areas, inner demons, and some truly heartbreaking moments. Some standout arcs that will probably make it into the show: Fjord's connection to Uk'otoa , and the yellow orb that starts it all—leading the gang onto a stolen ship ( The Mistake ) and into high-seas danger with the pirate Avantika. Nott's journey to become Veth again and reconnect with her family, which is way more emotional than you might think. Caleb's past with the Cerberus Assembly , especially his old mentor Trent Ikithon, and how Dunamancy magic (read: timey-wimey chaos) plays into it. The gang's role in the War of Ash and Light , a tense conflict between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty. Oh, and the whole city made of brains and nightmares arc—aka Cognouza—which introduces Tharizdûn, the god of eternal darkness. It gets weird in the best possible way. Also, heads up: Mollymauk dies pretty early on. But don't worry, Taliesin's still around as Caduceus , who brings a completely different (and deeply comforting) vibe to the group.

This Allison Janney comedy is an underrated Netflix show to watch this weekend (July 25-27)
When Netflix's streaming service first launched, it fundamentally changed what television was. In the years since, the streaming service has become the home to so many shows that I find it impossible to keep track. What shows are worth watching, which ones aren't, and how long will they remain relevant? This week, we've pulled together three great, deeply underrated shows that are well worth your time, each for very different reasons. Recommended Videos Need more recommendations? Then check out the best new shows to stream this week, as well as the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, the best shows on Amazon Prime Video, the best shows on HBO Max, and the best shows on Disney+. Building the Band (2025-) One of the smartest reality competition series to air on Netflix, Building the Band follows musicians who, as contestants, receive the chance to form bands of their own, auditioning one another. As the bands begin to solidify, they discover just how difficult it is to meld musical styles, personalities, and performance types. The show has celebrity panels who help and advise, but Building the Band turns an almost radical amount of power over to its contestants, and you'll ultimately find yourself deeply invested in the bands that they form. You can watch Building the Band on Netflix. Mom (2013-2021) It never had the ratings of The Big Bang Theory, but Mom was arguably the superior CBS sitcom. What was most surprising about Mom was the way the series managed to meld its most serious ideas with genuine comedy. The series follows a struggling single mother who is also a recovering alcoholic as her mom, another recovering alcoholic, waltzes back into her life. Mom took addiction seriously, and Anna Faris and Allison Janney were both up to the task of playing complex characters. Without fail, Mom was also deeply funny, and that's why it works. You can watch Mom on Netflix. House of Lies (2012-2016) Although it was never the most popular prestige comedy of its era, House of Lies was nonetheless a dark and funny series with an all-star cast. The show follows a group of consultants who are deeply clever and convince corporations of all kinds to pay for services from them that they almost definitely don't need. Led by Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell, this ensemble comedy was a little bit of a precursor to shows like Succession, although the characters on this show aren't quite that wealthy. Unfortunately, though, they might be just as depraved, and that's what makes them so entertaining. You can watch House of Lies on Netflix.
