Meta Unveils ‘Deadpool VR’ Game Featuring Neil Patrick Harris

Okay, so picture this: Meta’s got this VR studio, right? Twisted Pixel. They’re cooking up something pretty wild — Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Yeah, you heard right, Deadpool in your face and probably insulting you while you’re at it. And guess who’s gonna voice our merc with a mouth? Neil Patrick Harris. Yep, can totally see that working.

So, Twisted Pixel—these folks have been sitting under Meta’s wing since 2022, and they’re finally dropping their first biggie. Exclusive for Quest 3 and 3S, they say it’s hitting later this year. You can watch the trailer – or don’t, I’m not your boss.

Here’s the gist — bear with me. Deadpool gets yanked into some weird place called Mojoworld. Sounds like one of those pop-up ads that promise quick cash (which never end well, right?). Anyway, he’s chasing that sweet, sweet moolah, signs a contract — classic Deadpool — and boom, he’s hopping around Marvel’s playground, teaming up with or smashing the faces of villains. It’s like metaverse, but, you know, Marvel-style.

Twisted Pixel’s been grinding on this for a while, mixing Deadpool’s parkour antics with some gnarly combat stuff. Think of it as Path of the Warrior with extra sauce. You dream it up, it’s probably happening. Stab, shoot, fine, whatever. But why not get creative? Punching someone while holding a grenade, yeah? Or chucking your blown-off arm at some poor sap? Totally gross. And heads meeting propellers — not for the faint of heart.

Oh, and the enemies? Think of a Halloween zoo escape — soldiers, demonic dogs, lizards with anger issues, worm-things straight out of a nightmare.

We had a sneak peek, hands-on sorta thing with an early version, and it’s wild. Check it out if you’re into that, or just curious how Deadpool handles the multiverse mess.
