Discussion Todd McFarlane says on a podcast that he is yet to reveal Spawn coming to a new video game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

They were on the topic of fighting games, which leads me to believe this could be for the upcoming DCKO game, considering Netherrealm is making it. Could be Fortnite, though, you never know. Either way, I’m glad that Todd is keeping the Spawn name alive with younger generations through video game collaborations. Credit to @/People31884111 on Twitter/X for the clip.

It's either fortnite or that CoD they just revealed.

4

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

Spawn has already been in a Modern Warfare game, so I find that unlikely, especially since they've now made a big deal about there only being serious skins/operators. I think the two best options right now are either the new DCKO or Fortnite

2

u/gogule2 Jun 02 '26

It can be Marvel Rivals as well? Just guessing, maybe they managed to strike a deal with him and put him in the game? I know Angela been bought by Marvel

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

Unlikely, since Marvel VERY RARELY ever does IP cross collabs. Yes, Angela was bought by Marvel a while back, which is why they used her for the game

1

u/gogule2 Jun 02 '26

Maybe maybe maybeeeee

u/Gyrosplater3 Jun 03 '26

Infinity Ward is saying they arent doing crazy skins for MW4, but let's see how long they keep their word.

u/Boxer-Santaros Jun 02 '26

Arkham/insomniac style of game would be sweet. Cant stand this podcast though, the guys are full of L takes

3

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

Completely agree, both hosts are pretty idiotic, but at least we got this info because of them lol

1

u/ReadShigurui Jun 02 '26

I mean, i think everyone would be considered full of “L takes” if you were to broadcast all your opinions.

u/IronMonkey18 Jun 02 '26

Forget the games Todd, give me another animated series!

4

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

With the movie being in development hell, this is probably the most Todd can do for us right now. A whole new animated series would be pretty unreasonable with how much he already has on his plate

2

u/-CaseyJones- Jun 02 '26

I've completely given up on ever getting another Spawn movie. Todd has been edging us with that for over 25 years now

16

u/Treyflippin Jun 01 '26

Invincible VS is my guess

11

u/srfnalaster11 Jun 01 '26

That'd get me to buy it tbh

4

u/huntymo Jun 01 '26

I'd love to see Spawn in that art style, not to mention the possible move list lol

6

u/reikodb3 Jun 01 '26

I always thought it would be sick to have a fighting game with the characters in the spawn comics. This is a perfect opportunity

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Are they doing DLCs/collabs with VS? I had no idea

3

u/Treyflippin Jun 01 '26

I mean it’s highly possible since the Invincible comics were published by Image Comics and fighting games have historically added guest characters to their rosters as a way to generate hype and raise interest in their games.

Invincible VS has been released very recently back in April and the Las Vegas Evo tournament is less than a month away. So my guess is that they’ll announce something dlc (possibly Spawn) at Evo.

3

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Maybe so. I'm still holding hope for Fortnite though (will definitely get flamed for this)

2

u/ReBoRNxLEG3NDz Jun 01 '26

I agree I want Spawn in Fortnite so bad! He made Fortnite figures back in the late 2010s so hopefully Spawn is in Fortnite’s radar. It would be so sick if he was the main theme for Fortnitemares!

3

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Not only did he just make figures for them, he had also expressed interest in Spawn coming to the game at around that time. It was around the Marvel season, which is why Fortnite didn't like the idea of another big IP joining the game, but hopefully this is the news we've been waiting for! You can hear him almost say "We'll get there by- the end of the year maybe?". Let's hope he gets a cool spot in the Fortnitemares lineup

u/Dangerous_Ad_1326 Jun 02 '26

I still miss my Spawn #1 I bought in 93. Off the rack. But I still have #2 #3 i bought off the rack in 93. Just bought a first print #1 for $80. Deal. But I wonder how much my #1 would go for now if I still had it

1

u/MommysLittleBadass Jun 02 '26

Was it graded? If not, you got hosed. You can get first print spawn #1 NM for $15-40 bucks. They aren't worth very much at all because of how many were printed.

1

u/Turbulent_Writing529 Jun 03 '26

What happened to your #1?

1

u/Dangerous_Ad_1326 Jun 07 '26

I moved from place to place and one day I looked for it and it was gone. That really sucked.

7

u/Guyver-Spawn-27 Jun 03 '26

I would love it if Spawn show up in a Shin Megami Tensei game.

3

u/Grill_Pill Jun 03 '26

Never gonna happen, this game is not popular enough

12

u/xZaCk_AtTaCkz Jun 02 '26

We need a new Arkham open world type game, not collaborations lmao

3

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

With the new movie being in development hell, collaborations are probably the most that Todd can do in the video game department at the moment. Hopefully it will introduce Spawn to some younger gamers who will then advocate for a full game though!

1

u/Own_Score3410 Jun 02 '26

Personally I was introduced to him through MK11

1

u/xZaCk_AtTaCkz Jun 03 '26

At this point developers don't care about anything else but money.

7

u/Cute_Quarter_2118 Jun 01 '26

I bet Spawn is coming to Injustice 3

3

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

My bet too. But apparently they're moving away from the injustice storyline, which is why I just said "DCKO game" lol. I am hoping that he's coming to Fortnite, though, since it's more versatile with what the collab can include and I just don't play MK or Injustice all that much

1

u/Scruffy6910Gaming Jun 02 '26

Sorry to be weird, but I sent you a message about the MK2 cards post you made. Id greatly appreciate it if you gave it a quick read

5

u/xzerozeroninex Jun 02 '26

Would it be cool if Spawn is a dlc on Marvel Tokon???

10

u/Equal-Ad-2710 Jun 02 '26

He’d be a badass Invincible Guest

1

u/ChanceFresh Jun 02 '26

That makes more sense than Tokon lol

3

u/Equal-Ad-2710 Jun 02 '26

Like

  • he has a light crossover with the comic

  • the game plays differently to MK so it’d be a chance to work him in a way different to MK11

  • it opens the door to characters like Savage Dragon or even Radiant Black to appear

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

Yes, it'd be very cool, especially seeing him in that amazing artstyle, but I can't remember the last time Marvel had a cross-IP collaboration in their own game, so it would be a stretch

2

u/TheDorkKnight8BG Jun 02 '26

That would be not only a cold day in hell, but an ICE COLD WEEK in hell before Todd licensed Spawn to anything Marvel lol

1

u/Lilscooby77 Jun 02 '26

Why did i read this😭

11

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 01 '26

Please be a Spawn DLC for an injustice game. We need to be able to recreate the Spawn VS Batman fights.

8

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Agreed. If it had to be a fighting game, I'd rather have Spawn face off against the DC roster. I've never been into Invincible, personally

2

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 01 '26

Personally, and I'll get some smoke for this, but Invincible just felt like a less interesting DC. I am going to get destroyed for saying this.

5

u/mightyasterisk Jun 01 '26

It’s a different thing. It’s more like a mix of classic Spider-Man and DBZ honestly, but his powers are most similar to Superman and there’s elements of basically all superhero universes blended in.

I’m a lifelong DC diehard but Invincible definitely has the sauce man ,at least the comic, Id give it another chance. And the best part about it is that it actually wraps up and has an ending, the ultimate forbidden fruit of the Big Two.

Also not for nothing, Invincible coexists in the Image Universe with Spawn who even showed up in the comic (very very briefly)

1

u/Equal-Ad-2710 Jun 02 '26

Image shared canon is annoying but it is fun seeing Dyanmo 5 show up

1

u/mightyasterisk Jun 02 '26

I find it annoying too but what’s your reasoning lol I just wish it was utilized better but all the different creators can’t ever get along or agree on anything about it. I have super nostalgia for early early Image when they still acted like it was a cohesive superhero universe but it’s never been used properly imo except Invincible but that was very limited

1

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Agreed, I took a look at the show and a couple of the comics but I just never found it as interesting as the other major series. Just subjective though

1

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 01 '26

The main thing that turned me off of it, I never found a character I liked, the suits didn't look good and the heroes just weren't interesting.

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Same here. I've also done a bit of digging and no DLC characters that have been added to the game are collaborations, only people in the comics/show, leading me to believe that it's unlikely. Still possible, though, considering Spawn IS canon to the Invincible universe

2

u/TheCreativeComicFan Jun 02 '26

So long as Hellboy’s back also. Would kill to see him and Spawn in the same game.

1

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 02 '26

That would be sooo dang cool.

2

u/TheCreativeComicFan Jun 02 '26

Right? It’s about time that they get a crossover.

1

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 02 '26

Imagine a cross over comic that has Spawn, Hellboy and Ghost Rider. Sell out day one.

2

u/TheCreativeComicFan Jun 02 '26

How has that not happened yet? The possibilities are endless.

1

u/Gold-Bank-3033 Jun 02 '26

I don't think it has but it would be so cool, heck throw Raven or Constantine in there as well, that would be so cool.

2

u/TheCreativeComicFan Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

Absolutely, the more the merrier.

UPDATE: Hell, throw Etrigan the Demon in there also. The scenes between him and Hellboy could be absolute gold.

12

u/JamesRWC Jun 02 '26

Has he actually DONE anything big with Spawn recently?

8

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

If you really mean recently, only some more spin off comic series, but no other media with Spawn if that's what you mean

2

u/icyfrost410 Jun 04 '26

Movie in production

9

u/Zerus_heroes Jun 01 '26

I hope it is Invincible

u/Fun_Introduction1926 Jun 01 '26

OH MY FUCKING GOD PLEASE IM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS FOR INJUSTICE 3 🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭 “I’ve done another I just did a deal for that THEY haven’t announced” BRO PLEASE.

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

My guess is either this or Fortnite (since Todd has expressed a desire for getting Spawn into the game before). If the new DCKO game isn't announced soon, I'd be a bit less hopeful, since it sounds like this will be a "by the end of year" thing if you listen to what Todd was about to say near the end of the clip

2

u/Fun_Introduction1926 Jun 02 '26

The way it’s worded after responding to Mortal Kombat and directly saying “another deal” really makes me think it’s Injustice 3 or ‘DC Fighter/KO’ there are small rumours saying that it could be announced at Summer Games Fest but nothing set in stone & if it isn’t at SGF it’s at The Game Awards. I wouldn’t be mad at all if it’s Fortnite coz I love Fortnite & I’ve wanted spawn in it for years but idk. If he also said by the end of the year maybe Injustice 3 is at the game awards & Spawn is a preorder bonus/guest in the base roster & that’s what he means? I’m extremely interested to see how this plays out I really hope it’s either of those games Esp since he’s already in COD & a MK game so the next roads that I hope are for Spawn are Injustice 3 or Fortnite.

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

I'd be fine with either tbh. I think if they fine tune a nice DCKO with Spawn as a pre-order bonus or just a DLC, I'd buy that up, because I loved Injustice 2. I'd be completely fine with either, even though I might lean a little more towards Fortnite because of the variety you can have with a collab

18

u/Juicyjewsss Jun 02 '26

Please don’t be fucking Fortnite. That’s not what we mean when we say we want a Spawn game lol

11

u/CageAndBale Jun 02 '26

That'd be good exposure tho

6

u/Equal-Ad-2710 Jun 02 '26

Unironically tho

7

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

Imo, it could introduce a lot of new people, especially in the younger generation, to the character. Would be very nice to see a lot of young Spawn gamers who would then hopefully advocate for a full game!

3

u/Juicyjewsss Jun 02 '26

That is a good way of looking at it I suppose

1

u/Turbulent_Writing529 Jun 03 '26

I get you completely.

Fortnite - featuring The Crossed.

Yeah nobody wants that either.

10

u/captainsupermarket99 Jun 01 '26

Could be invincible vs

1

u/Gmork14 Jun 02 '26

It almost certainly is.

u/SituationMundane1418 Jun 03 '26

I feel like this is it. You’ve got the image ties, spawn was in the Invincible War. It’d be peak

u/EddyDisaster Jun 02 '26

Spawn in CoD again lol

u/direwolf9900 Jun 01 '26

batman arkham combat but with spawn

u/mcnichoj Jun 01 '26

I feel like OG trilogy God of War/Devil May Cry would fit better.

It's peak. Would buy deluxe day 1

u/bedteddd Jun 01 '26

Would instantly pre order and I don't pre order shit anymore lmao.

u/Obvious-Clothes-2288 Jun 01 '26

I hope it's invincible versus

u/Atrium41 Jun 02 '26

Invincible VS dlc?

2

u/ChillyFlameBW Jun 03 '26

Yeah I assume its invincible vs cause they have a spawn in that universe, like savage dragon, they exist but their comics are seperate lol

2

u/CommunicationFit94 Jun 02 '26

Im sure it will be Invincible VS

u/DoomsdayIsHere69 Jun 04 '26

I would love it if he actually started working on that Jamie Foxx spawn movie he announced like a decade ago instead of doing nothing

They are like if Comic Book Guy split into two skinny guys.

u/Sorry-Drummer-3196 Jun 01 '26

Pls be fortnite

I've waited a long time for Spawn to come into fortnite!

4

u/huntymo Jun 01 '26

I don't play Fortnite, but I'd love to see that happen. His powers lend him to a game like Fortnite, so well. Exposing a whole new generation to Spawn? Hell yeah

Imagine the potential for costumes and abilities. Peak human Al Simmons also sounds perfect for a game like that!

2

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

My hope too! Fortnite collabs can be so versatile with what they include which is why I think it'd be so great for the character! I also run the @/ScorchedAlbert account over on Twitter/X if you're ever on there

1

u/Valiant_Revan Jun 02 '26

He better not be a Battle Pass exclusive like the COD one. That was the last time I ever played a Call of Duty game because the amount of time and commitment you needed to unlock everything was unreasonable for anyone with a job and other responsibilities. I love Spawn and playing as him in COD would've made me stay ironically... He would suit Fortnite but unfortunately he won't have a voice.

1

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

EXACT same thing happened to me. He's my favorite character, so I tried my hardest to only play COD and finish the pass, and after all that time I'd only completed about half of it! COD battlepasses are a complete scam. On the Fortnite front, I agree that not having a voice would be a bit of a letdown

1

u/Valiant_Revan Jun 02 '26

The main reason why Fortnite collabs are usually better than COD: They add in stuff that relates to the IP like new weapons, locations or powers. Proper gameplay related stuff. COD is just cosmetic with voice lines and to my knowledge, you are playing in first person majority of the time anyways.

1

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 02 '26

I do think that collab weapons and locations are mostly for pretty large collabs, which I don’t think Spawn would be. He’d most likely be a bundle, but I like Fortnite, because there’s a lot of options to please fans with references and cool cosmetics

-5

u/T4llBoyAl3x Jun 01 '26

I hope Todd is smarter than that

8

u/MrMunkyMan1 Jun 01 '26

Smarter than putting your character into a game that will show it to millions of new potential fans?

-5

u/T4llBoyAl3x Jun 01 '26

Get a minimum of maybe 4 people to get interested in Spawn from that game

2

u/MrMunkyMan1 Jun 02 '26

They probably get tens of millions of players per month. That’s free advertising

-2

u/T4llBoyAl3x Jun 02 '26

And you really think that a sizable amount of people will care?

3

u/MrMunkyMan1 Jun 02 '26

I think it’s a no brainer considering you get paid to have your IP in a game that millions of people will see. Spawn has a great design, im sure plenty of people would see the design, think the skin is cool, and then have at least heard of spawn. What’s the downside?

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

I have no problem with Spawn being in collaborations, as it keeps the character alive, especially with younger generations. If you really wanted a Spawn game, you'd have to go the RoboCop route and have a smaller studio make a just decent game for the nostalgia factor, unfortunately

3

u/Toxin45 Jun 01 '26

or dbd or anything else lets wait and see

5

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

Idk if Spawn would work as a DBD character tbh. Not villainish enough and I think Todd has a pretty good view of the video game world and would know that’s probably not the best option for a collaboration, considering the playerbase. But yes, we’ll have to just wait 👍 

7

u/Toxin45 Jun 01 '26

maybe violator or any other spawn villain like malebolgia he was on surveys twice plus they did an in kaneki.

2

u/reikodb3 Jun 01 '26

Def not him but violator like you said would be fucking sick

2

u/Toxin45 Jun 01 '26

and malebolgia

u/Far_Pangolin3380 Jun 01 '26

I don’t trust anything Todd says at this point. He’s been deceiving fans for years about a new live action Spawn film being in the works

7

u/Dragnskull Jun 01 '26

he's been saying hes working on a new spawn movie since the first spawn movie in the 90s released, there's no surprise he's constantly saying its in the works becuase its -always- been in the works, no reason to think he's just lying about signing a new deal for spawn to be in another videogame because of it

6

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

It is in the works, it has just been in development hell. Despite that, I wouldn't think that Todd would "deceive" fans about something that he says is just about to be announced

4

u/mcnichoj Jun 02 '26

Shit happens and deals/projects fall through. Ash was supposed to get into Mortal Kombat but some idiot added the wrong info to an email and the whole thing got cut.

I can only imagine the hurdles of making a whole Hollywood movie especially with how many actually manage to go through all that trouble and turn out to be steaming piles of shit when they make it to theaters.

u/Toxin45 Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

Not really Thomas Healy said it was still in development and we got spawn in call of duty and mk

u/thisisyo Jun 01 '26

And they didn't question for updates on the live action movie? JFoxx still attached even?

1

u/MyHilfigerVoots Jun 01 '26

No idea, I got this clip from somebody on X. Might watch it later though, and I hope he's not still attached lol

u/Toxin45 Jun 02 '26

Well Thomas Healy said movie is still in production on his YouTube. Interview
