Get under the skin of the Marvel universe's craziest superhero! Twisted Pixel, the studio behind Path of the Warrior, has teamed up with Oculus Studios and Marvel Games to launch Marvel's Deadpool VR, a Meta Quest 3 and 3S exclusive expected by the end of 2025. Announced at Summer Game Fest 2025, this virtual reality title invites players to embody Deadpool in a totally new story. Propelled into Mojoworld, the mercenary sees an opportunity to win big, very big, and accepts a dubious contract without batting an eyelid. And so begins an adventure across the Marvel universe, populated by cult villains... or much less so.
Designed with VR in mind, Marvel's Deadpool VR relies on free, explosive handling. The experience features combat sequences mixing parkour and beat'em up. True to the spirit of Deadpool, the gameplay encourages absurd improvisation: "Take your arm freshly torn off by an explosion and throw it at the bad guys? Gross, but validated", explains a press release. Immersion is at a maximum: between hand-to-hand combat, limb explosions and over-the-top stunts, the player controls Deadpool in all his excess.
The game is aimed at fans of theMarvel universe, of course, but also at those who like VR experiences that think outside the box. The dark humor and zany gameplay mechanics evoke a trashy version of a superhero simulator. And if you're partial to the character's provocative style, you're in for a treat. In this title, everything is designed to enable you to don "Deadpool's sweaty, skin-tight jumpsuit and truly embody the loud-mouthed mercenary".
Voice dubbing is entrusted to Neil Patrick Harris, who lends his voice to the hero in a deliberately excessive interpretation. Twisted Pixel explains that the studio has "spent years capturing Deadpool's unique blend of parkour and combat", a feat that translates into a fluidity of action and variety of movement rarely achieved in a VR game.
The story traverses several emblematic locations in the Marvel multiverse, although few details have yet been revealed about the exact environments. What is certain is that the bestiary promises to be as eclectic as it is disturbing: soldiers, demonic dogs, humanoid lizards or giant mutant worms await to be creatively boned.
Finally, the game seems to cultivate a meta relationship with virtual reality: "It's true metaverse - in the sense of the Marvel universe, not that of virtual reality", say the developers. This touch of self-mockery, typical of the character, could appeal to a wide audience, curious about a different approach to narrative VR. Release is scheduled for late 2025 exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
