Alright, so here’s the deal. I stumbled across this wild update from Twisted Pixel, you know, those Meta folks who got into the whole VR game thing. They’ve cooked up something kooky and it’s called Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Yeah, you heard right! And guess who’s lending his pipes to Deadpool? Neil Patrick Harris. I mean, who’d have thought? Anyway—wait, where was I?
Right, the game. It’s their first release since Meta scooped them up in 2022, and they’re saying it’ll hit the shelves or, well, the digital shelves for Quest 3 and 3S later this year. So, jot that down somewhere if you’re into VR.
Here’s the scoop on what they’ve got cooked up—or maybe just barely simmering. Deadpool gets whisked away to Mojoworld (don’t ask me, I barely know my way around my own neighborhood). He’s seeing dollar signs—big, flashy ones—and signs a dodgy contract without a second thought. Gotta love a guy who lives on the edge… or is just plain reckless? Your call. Anyway, it launches him across the Marvel universe battling all these villains, familiar and otherwise. Real comic book stuff, but with that tech twist.
And these Twisted Pixel folks? They’ve been busting their chops perfecting Deadpool’s crazy parkour meets combat style. Like, think making a smoothie—only with chaos instead of fruit. If you ever imagined punching someone with a grenade (don’t try this at home) or tossing a severed arm at foes (I told you it was wild), this game is your playground. Propeller face-planting? Yep, that’s a thing too. The creative dismemberment buffet is open, featuring soldiers, demonic dogs, and other bizarre creatures waiting to meet their fate in, let’s say, colorful ways.
I got a sneak peek at an early version and let me tell you, it was… something. You might want to check out our in-depth look when you can tear yourself away from whatever it is you’re supposed to be doing.
Anyway, that’s the crazy world of VR these days. Who knew?
