‘Deadpool’ VR Game Starring Neil Patrick Harris Set From Meta Quest, Marvel

by · Variety

A VR game based on Marvel’s “Deadpool” franchise is set to launch later this year from Meta Quest with Neil Patrick Harris voicing the Merc with a Mouth.

Developed by Twisted Pixel and Oculus Studios, in collaboration with Marvel Games, “Marvel’s Deadpool VR” features a new story focused around the MCU character portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the R-rated blockbuster film franchise.

Per the game’s description, “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.”

“Marvel’s Deadpool VR” will launch in late 2025 for Meta Quest 3 and 3S VR devices.

The game developers boast that, “if you can imagine it, you can probably do it,” in “Marvel’s Deadpool VR”: “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.”
