Introduction to Marvel’s Deadpool VR
Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s the Merc with a Mouth flying face-first into his next game: Marvel’s Deadpool VR – and it’s coming exclusively to the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. We just got our first trailer for the title at Summer Game Fest, and it’s jam-packed with violence against a bunch of Marvel villains and Deadpool’s signature humor.
Gameplay and Storyline
While the gameplay focus doesn’t tell us an excessive amount of in regards to the story, the trailer’s description reveals that Deadpool has been given the prospect to make big bucks after being transported to Mojoworld, which X-Men animated fans will recognize as the house of the TV-obsessed Mojo. He signs a contract (which he obviously doesn’t read properly) and that sends him across the Marvel universe to face off against Hydra goons, the Hand, and iconic villains including Omega Red and Mephisto.
Combat Style and Features
In a press release sent out ahead of the announcement, the combat style was described as “in case you can imagine it, you’ll be able to probably do it.” Based on what we’ve seen, this appears to be the case. Deadpool blocks incoming fire along with his katanas before wall running while shooting at his foes and ending them off by chucking his pistol on the robot attempting to gun him down. Later within the trailer, we see him throwing appendages (his own and others) at his foes, pressing a goon’s face right into a spinning plane propeller, and using the Hand’s kunai against them.
Voice Acting and Release Date
All the while, Neil Patrick Harris is delivering humorous quips because the voice actor for Deadpool on this title. And while we only get a small taste of his performance, he already feels like a fantastic pick for the role along with his characteristically dry, sarcastic humor. Meta and developer Twisted Pixel haven’t yet given this title a precise release date, but have said it’s coming “Late 2025,” and it may well’t come soon enough.
The Need for a New Deadpool Game
Deadpool and his fans have been crying out for a brand new video game. Since his 2013 title’s release, the character’s popularity has skyrocketed because of a trilogy of much-loved movies starring him. However, Activision also lost the Marvel license it had in 2014, so the sport is inconceivable to get digitally and might’t be rereleased physically. That’s why copies of the 2013 Deadpool game have seen prices over $100 / £100 at times, and might still fetch prices within the $50 / £40 range from resellers.
Conclusion
If this Meta Quest 3 title can live as much as the superhero-fantasy that was Batman: Arkham Shadow – probably the greatest Batman games ever made, and the proper title for anyone who has dreamt of wearing the cowl – I expect it might be the form of 2025 system seller the Quest 3 and Quest 3s have been in search of (especially given rumors that a Meta Quest 4 refresh has been delayed until no less than 2027). With its unique combat style, humorous voice acting, and exclusive release on the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is shaping as much as be an exciting and highly anticipated game.
