One of the most surprising announcements from this year’s Summer Game Fest Kick-Off was the reveal of Marvel’s Deadpool VR – a Meta Quest exclusive first-person parkour shooter which of course goes all-in on the crass and 4th-wall-breaking humour which the merc with a mouth is known for.
Launching some time in late 2025, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is a movement-focused shooter in which “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.”
The Quest exclusive game is said to include “the franchise’s unique blend of parkour and combat,” claiming that “If you can imagine it, you can probably do it. 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. The limit does not exist!”
Interestingly, unlike the previous Deadpool game (voiced by Nolan North), or the Deadpool films (Ryan Reynolds), Marvel’s Deadpool VR features the voicing talents of Neil Patrick Harris.
Since the rise of VR, we’ve seen quite a few comedy-focused VR titles – many of which have succeeded greatly. Hopefully Deadpool VR proves to be the perfect blend of fun and funny.
