Deadpool goes VR with Neil Patrick Harris

This trailer is not for the faint of heart so put on your big kid undies and strap in for a violent, expletive-ridden good time. 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.

Featuring the franchise’s unique blend of parkour and combat: 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!

Featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Deadpool, experience parkour and combat with over-the-top moments like only the merc with the mouth can pull off.

Marvel’s Deadpool VR incoming Late 2025. Only on Meta Quest 3/3S.

Electronic Arts cancels its Black Panther game and shuts down Cliffhanger Games

Electronic Arts has cancelled the Black Panther video game that had been announced in 2023 and shutdown the studio behind it, Cliffhanger Games. EA is making other layoffs across other team though specifics are unknown at the time.

The game was revealed, along with the Cliffhanger studio based in Seattle, in July 2023 and was described then as an original, third-person, single-player video game in collaboration with Marvel Games.

The cancellation was announced to employees through an email sent by EA Entertainment and Technology president Laura Miele, according to the report.

The reason given is that Electronic Arts will focus more on other games where they think they have the “most significant growth opportunities.” That means expect more Battlefield, The Sims, Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Apex Legends. Interestingly, EA will continue to work on the Iron Man game that was announced in 2022.

This continues mass layoffs that have hit the video game industry this year. EA laid off between 300 and 400 employees cancelling other projects less than a month ago as just three months after it made significant cuts to BioWare.
