Deadpool goes VR with Neil Patrick Harris

Posted on by

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.

Batman: Arkham Shadow – Gameplay Trailer

Posted on by

The first in-game footage of Batman: Arkham Shadow, a groundbreaking new entry in the famed Arkham series, developed exclusively for Meta Quest 3 by Camouflaj and Oculus Studios, in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC.

This time around, you are Batman. Land bone-crushing punches. Glide into hapless enemies. Retreat to the shadows. Camouflaj has reimagined the core Arkham experience for VR, drawing particular inspiration from Batman: Arkham Asylum and its intricate and interconnected level design.

You’ll need to master all of Batman’s abilities in order to save Gotham City. Set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum, you’ll step into the shoes of a relatively young—and increasingly confident—Bruce Wayne as he takes on the Rat King, a dangerous new criminal with a cultish following.
