Boy, do I have some news for you. So, Twisted Pixel—yeah, that studio Meta scooped up a while back—has dropped a little bombshell: Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Who would’ve seen that coming? I, for one, didn’t have it on my bingo card. Anyway, it’s spinning up to launch, like, later this year. And oh man, Neil Patrick Harris as Deadpool. Can you believe it? Maybe I’m just easily amazed. Who knows.
Twisted Pixel, since their Meta deal in 2022, has been pretty under-the-radar. So, this game is like their grand re-entry or whatever. Wait, did I mention it’s only on Quest 3 and 3S? Exclusive stuff. Just saying, if you’ve got anything else, forget it. But yeah, there’s a trailer floating around somewhere, if you wanna check it out. I’ve already lost it in my sea of opened tabs.
Right, the juicy bits—the studio cooked up a brand-new Deadpool story. It’s all, you know, wacky Marvel universe stuff. Deadpool gets sucked into Mojoworld or something, sees some shiny riches, and boom—signs some sketchy contract. No reading, no nothing. Off he goes, hopping about, fighting all these wild villains. Really, it’s a metaverse ride, but not the VR one, if that even makes sense.
Twisted Pixel, bless their hearts, has been perfecting this whole mix of parkour and combat. I’m talking about the kind they showed off in that Path of the Warrior game. So, you can imagine—it’s gonna be nuts. And violent. Want to punch someone while holding a grenade? Checked. Chuck your own body parts at baddies? Gross, but check. Seriously, the level of chaos is off the charts. Demonic dogs, lizard dudes, whatever creepy crawlies—ready to be creatively annihilated in ways that make you question yourself.
Oh, and we had a sneak peek, hands-on with an early version. If you wanna dive deeper into our chaotic experience, there’s a preview lurking around here somewhere.
So, yeah. That’s the scoop. Marvel’s Deadpool VR, folks. Keep your eyes peeled and maybe your expectations in check. Or maybe not. Up to you.
