Deadpool is stepping into virtual reality, and it looks like the game will be just as chaotic and meta as the character himself. Titled Marvel’s Deadpool VR, the upcoming title puts players directly behind the mask in a full-scale story-driven experience.
Launching this fall for Quest headsets, the game is being built from the ground up as a solo campaign with combat, exploration, and plenty of snarky narration.
First-Person Mayhem with Deadpool’s Signature Style
From the brief footage shown, gameplay centers around melee and ranged combat in true first-person VR. Expect katana slices, dual-wielded pistols, and teleportation mechanics that match the fast-paced, break-the-rules tone Deadpool is known for.
The action isn’t limited to mindless slashing, though. The trailer hints at a full story that follows Wade Wilson through a mess of mutant drama and fourth-wall-breaking hijinks. Visually, the game uses a cel-shaded comic-book style that leans heavily into the character’s roots without falling into photorealism.
While the combat seems intense, there’s a clear emphasis on keeping things light. Deadpool’s constant chatter, sight gags, and self-referential jokes aim to create a tone closer to the films and comics than a typical superhero power fantasy.
Cameos, Story Arcs, and That Meta Flavor
The narrative appears to involve more than just Deadpool cracking jokes and cutting through goons. Early glimpses suggest other familiar Marvel characters will appear throughout the campaign, possibly pulling from the X-Men corner of the universe.
It’s still unclear how linear or open the game will be, but dialogue choices and branching humor could play a role in how scenes unfold. Given Deadpool’s tendency to comment on the medium he’s in, VR offers a unique platform for playful fourth-wall gimmicks and immersive comedy sequences. This won’t be a generic Marvel crossover. It’s a standalone Deadpool story, but with all the expected chaos and unpredictable tone shifts that come with the territory.
Platform, Pricing, and What to Expect Next
Marvel’s Deadpool VR is currently set to launch on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro. No word yet on PC VR or PlayStation VR2 availability. The release is scheduled for fall 2025, with a price tag of $39.99, placing it in the mid-tier premium bracket for standalone VR titles.
There’s still a lot we don’t know, especially around mission structure, movement systems, and just how much variety the game will offer. But for fans of character-driven VR games and offbeat superhero narratives, this looks like one of the more distinct releases on the horizon.If it sticks the landing, it could end up doing for Deadpool what Iron Man VR did for Tony Stark giving players a direct, immersive, and entertaining window into a fan-favorite antihero.
