A fresh video game featuring Neil Patrick Harris from “How I Met Your Mother” as Deadpool was unveiled at Summer Game Fest. Known for his wit and charm, Deadpool is a revered superhero who’s been adored by comic fans for nearly three decades, but he truly rose to mainstream fame around a decade ago thanks to Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal in movies. Now one of Marvel’s most beloved characters, there hasn’t been a new Deadpool game in 12 years, making it hard for gamers to find and play legally or affordably because the publisher, Activision, no longer holds the rights to it and thus it has been removed from distribution.
There’s speculation that Microsoft could potentially collaborate with Marvel and Disney to revive or reintroduce classic Marvel games such as Deadpool, given their recent acquisition of Activision. However, whether this will materialize remains uncertain. Consequently, the best way to enjoy Deadpool in a game is through crossover titles like Midnight Suns (which I highly recommend you play). This situation has sparked a desire among many fans to see Deadpool receive the same level of treatment as iconic characters like Wolverine and Spider-Man, who are starring in massive AAA games.
During Summer Game Fest, it has been verified that Meta is teaming up with developer Twisted Pixel to create an entirely new game featuring the wise-cracking Merc with a Mouth, titled “Marvel’s Deadpool VR“. In this production, Neil Patrick Harris takes on the role of the central anti-hero. Although some Deadpool enthusiasts might prefer a non-VR version of the game, this VR adaptation appears quite intriguing. Deadpool himself quips that Spider-Man gets a game by Insomniac, but he’s been restricted to VR. Nevertheless, it seems that Deadpool is well suited for VR gaming. Following years of games like “Bonelabs“, “Hard Bullet“, and other VR titles where you can engage in intense fights against goons armed with guns and blades, the concept of doing all that, but now with Deadpool, seems like a particularly clever move.
The action in this game seems quite varied since Deadpool is depicted handling multiple firearms, tossing them, employing his distinctive katanas, and much more. In virtual reality, you have the freedom to mix and match these actions as desired. You could potentially use people as shields, hurl a grenade by striking it with your sword, and so on. It seems that Deadpool will face off against characters like Azazel after signing a contract without thoroughly reading the fine print, leading him on an arduous journey.
As of right now, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is slated to release for Meta Quest 3 later this year.
