Is it a bird? A plane? No, it\u2019s the Merc with a Mouth flying face-first into his next game: Marvel\u2019s Deadpool VR \u2013 and it\u2019s coming exclusively to the Meta Quest 3<\/a> and Meta Quest 3S<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We just got our first trailer for the title at Summer Game Fest, and it\u2019s jam-packed with violence against a host of Marvel villains and Deadpool\u2019s signature humor.<\/p>\n

While the gameplay focus doesn\u2019t tell us too much about the story, the trailer\u2019s description reveals that Deadpool has been given the chance to make big bucks after being transported to Mojoworld, which X-Men animated fans will recognise as the home of the TV-obsessed Mojo.<\/p>\n

He signs a contract (which he obviously doesn\u2019t read properly) and that sends him across the Marvel universe to face off against Hydra goons, the Hand, and iconic villains including Omega Red and Mephisto.<\/p>\n

In a press release sent out to us ahead of the announcement, the combat style was described as \u201cif you can imagine it, you can probably do it.\u201d Based on what we\u2019ve seen, this appears to be the case.<\/p>\n

Deadpool blocks incoming fire with his katanas before wall running while shooting at his foes and finishing them off by chucking his pistol at the robot trying to gun him down. Later in the trailer, we see him throwing appendages (his own and others) at his foes, pressing a goon\u2019s face into a spinning plane propeller, and using the Hand\u2019s kunai against them.<\/p>\n

If you like action-packed VR sandboxes, this looks like it could be right up your street, as the footage seems to stress the importance of creative killing rather than simply flailing your katanas around.<\/p>\n

All the while, Neil Patrick Harris is delivering humorous quips as the voice actor for Deadpool in this title. And while we only get a small taste of his performance, he already sounds like a great pick for the role with his characteristically dry, sarcastic humor.<\/p>\n

Meta and developer Twisted Pixel haven\u2019t yet given this title an exact release date, but have said it\u2019s coming \u201cLate 2025,\u201d and it can\u2019t come soon enough.<\/p>\n

Deadpool and his fans have been crying out for a new video game.<\/p>\n

Since his 2013 title\u2019s release, the character\u2019s popularity has skyrocketed thanks to a trilogy of much-loved movies starring him. However, Activision also lost the Marvel license it had in 2014, so the game is impossible to get digitally and can\u2019t be rereleased physically.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why copies of the 2013 Deadpool game have seen prices over $100 \/ \u00a3100 at times, and can still fetch prices in the $50 \/ \u00a340 range from resellers.<\/p>\n

If this Meta Quest 3 title can live up to the superhero-fantasy that was Batman: Arkham Shadow<\/a> \u2013 one of the best Batman games ever made, and the perfect title for anyone who has dreamt of wearing the cowl \u2013 I exp[ect it could be the sought of 2025 system seller the Quest 3 and Quest 3s have been looking for (especially given rumors that a Meta Quest 4 refresh has been delayed until at least 2027<\/a>).<\/p>\n
