UVS Games has unveiled the 2027 roadmap for UniVersus, showcasing an exciting lineup of upcoming releases and giving players their first look at what’s ahead for one of tabletop gaming’s oldest card games.
Revealed through a new roadmap trailer, the 2027 lineup includes some of the most requested and recognizable franchises to ever join UniVersus, spanning anime, comics, and tabletop gaming.
Warhammer 40,000 arrives in UniVersus with a Booster Set, 2-Player Starter Deck, and more. From the myriad war zones of the Imperium to the horrific depths of the warp, players will be able to bring the unending conflict of the 41st Millennium to their UniVersus battles.
The roadmap also includes the arrival of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure with Challenger Series releases based on Golden Wind and Stone Ocean, the debut of Persona 5 Royal through two Challenger Series releases, and a new Critical Role Booster Set centered on Bells Hells from Campaign 3.
Some additional releases include two Challenger Series products based on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy universe and a full Booster Set inspired by Skybound’s Invincible comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley.
The 2027 roadmap continues UniVersus’ tradition of bringing together beloved franchises from across entertainment while expanding the game’s ever-growing roster of characters and worlds.
More details, including product information, card previews, release dates, and additional announcements, will be revealed throughout 2027.
Earlier this year, Skybound announced its partnership with UVS Games to bring the Invincible comic license to UniVersus, with initial plans for the product to launch as a preconstructed deck.
UVS Games is providing an important update: Invincible will now release as a full booster set in 2027. Yes, they’re going bigger!
Since the original announcement, the response from both the UniVersus community and Invincible fans has been strong and consistent. As development continued, it became clear that expanding the release would better reflect the scope of the series and the expectations surrounding it. In alignment with Skybound, the product has evolved into a booster set to allow for a broader representation of the franchise.
As a booster release, Invincible will provide the opportunity to showcase a significantly wider range of heroes and villains from the series. Expanding beyond a single preconstructed deck ensures the set can more fully represent the depth of the property within UniVersus.
The new expanded releases will not just feature the headline characters, but deep cuts and defining moments.
Additional details — including release timing, prerelease information, and product configuration — will be shared as development progresses.
UVS Games has unveiled the 2026 roadmap for UniVersus, kicking off a milestone year for the franchise. 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the UniVersus game engine, and the release slate reflects that legacy: a mix of legendary fighting franchises, iconic monsters, beloved anime, and fan-favorite manga brought together in one of the most ambitious calendars the game has ever seen.
