If you’ve ever wanted to step into Deadpool’s blood-soaked boots to make a complete bloody mess of the Marvel Universe, your moment is almost here.
Meta Quest just dropped the trailer for Marvel’s Deadpool VR, and Neil Patrick Harris is voicing the Merc with a Mouth, bringing the chaos, sarcasm, and deeply questionable decisions to virtual reality.
Developed by Twisted Pixel and Oculus Studios in partnership with Marvel Games, this is a full-blown, fourth-wall-breaking rampage that tosses you straight into a brand-new Deadpool storyline.
In classic Wade Wilson fashion, he signs a shady contract without reading the fine print, because of course he does, and gets zapped into Mojoworld. What follows is a gonzo tour through Marvel’s weirder corners, packed with iconic (and not-so-iconic) villains, all ripe for dismemberment.
Here’s the official pitch: “After being pulled through a portal to Mojoworld, Deadpool sees a chance to get rich—like really rich. He signs a sketchy contract without reading any of the fine print and then it’s off to visit a bunch of locations from across the Marvel universe, battling against iconic (and not-so-iconic) villains. It’s real metaverse stuff—in the Marvel Universe sense, not the VR one.”
The game is dropping in late 2025 for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, and based on the trailer, it’s shaping up to be wildly unhinged in all the right ways. The devs aren’t holding back, either.
“Sure, you can simply stab or shoot your enemies, but where’s the fun in that? Punch someone while holding a grenade? Check. Take your recently exploded-off arm and throw it at the bad guys? Gross, but also check. Hold an enemy’s face into a spinning propeller? A bloody, but efficient, check. Soldiers, demonic dogs, weird humanoid lizards, creepy worm-things, they’re all waiting to be dismembered in creative (some might say sadistic) ways.”
You can watch the trailer now, fresh out of Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, and start preparing your stomach for VR-induced violence and fourth-wall-breaking shenanigans.
