Geoff Keighley Unveils Deadpool VR at Summer Game Fest

LOS ANGELES, CA — Summer Game Fest returned to reveal exciting new developments in gaming. Geoff Keighley took the stage to announce various upcoming titles, including a surprise game that attendees did not see coming.

Meta has officially launched ‘Deadpool VR,’ a collaboration between Twisted Pixel, Oculus Studios, and Marvel Games. This game will introduce a new character to the franchise, but not in the way fans might expect. Neil Patrick Harris, known for his role in ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ steps into the iconic red suit, replacing Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Deadpool.

Marvel’s Deadpool VR is designed exclusively for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, featuring an original storyline. According to a press release, Deadpool gets pulled through a portal to Mojoworld, where he hopes to strike it rich but ends up signing a dubious contract.

Players can anticipate an action-packed experience, traveling through various locations in the Marvel Universe while battling a mix of famous and lesser-known villains. Innovative gameplay will include unique abilities, such as using Deadpool’s parkour skills for exciting combat sequences.

“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 press release stated. The game involves elements of dismemberment and over-the-top action, typical of Deadpool’s character.

The game is set to launch later this year, although a specific release date has not yet been disclosed. Neil Patrick Harris’ performance as Deadpool has already sparked considerable excitement among fans.
