Meta Unveils ‘Deadpool VR’ Game Featuring Neil Patrick Harris

Okay, so first things first—Meta’s game studio, Twisted Pixel, just shouted from the rooftops about this new VR game they’ve got coming: Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Cool, right? But hang on, it’s coming “later this year.” And guess who’s voicing Deadpool? Neil Patrick Harris. Yeah, you heard that right. Kinda wild.

This is Twisted Pixel’s big move since becoming part of Meta back in 2022. They’ve been pretty hush-hush but decided to spill the beans now. The game’s a Quest 3 and 3S exclusive—oh well, gotta have some perks, right? They even dropped a trailer. Bet it’s worth a watch.

So, here’s the skinny: Deadpool gets yanked through a portal into Mojoworld—don’t ask me how that feels. Anyway, our buddy Deadpool sniffs out a get-rich-quick scheme and signs some sketchy paper. Probably didn’t even squint at the fine print. Next thing you know, he’s bouncing around the Marvel universe, getting into all sorts of scrap with villains you might—or might not—know. It’s like a Marvel multiverse thing, but twisted into a VR game. Trippy, right?

Twisted Pixel swears they’ve nailed Deadpool’s mix of parkour and combat like never before. They’ve taken the madness from their last gig, Path of the Warrior, and dialed it up. Imagine the wildest stuff you can do in VR—yep, it’s probably in there. I mean, why just shoot when you can use some real mischief? Punch with a grenade, throw your own arm like it’s the new “thing,” or play propeller head. Yikes. And expect to greet a zoo of foes—from soldiers to freaky worm-things—all ready to be creatively dismembered. Lovely.

I managed a sneak peek at this chaos. Trust me, you’ll want to check out the preview. But hey, who knows how it’ll turn out? Could be epic, or maybe just another day in the VR neighborhood.
