Deadpool: VR Unleashes Mayhem, John Leguizamo Joins as Mojo!

Get ready to have your expectations — and possibly the fourth wall — thoroughly shattered, because Deadpool is finally making his highly anticipated leap into virtual reality! The latest trailer for the appropriately titled Deadpool: VR has dropped, confirming what many fans hoped for: a truly unhinged, character-accurate adventure, complete with a major voice talent reveal.

The biggest bombshell from the new footage is the confirmation that legendary actor and comedian John Leguizamo (known for roles in Moulin Rouge!, John Wick, and as Luigi in the original Super Mario Bros. movie) is lending his distinctive voice to none other than Mojo! For those unfamiliar, Mojo is a grotesque, spider-like alien from the Mojoverse, obsessed with television ratings and often forcing mutants into deadly gladiator-style spectacles for entertainment. Leguizamo's vibrant, often manic energy seems like a perfect fit for the bizarre, media-mogul villain, promising a truly memorable antagonist for the Merc with a Mouth to torment – and be tormented by.

Developed by Damage State, the studio behind the visually stunning and action-packed ARPG The Ascent, Deadpool: VR is being published by Marvel Entertainment themselves, ensuring an authentic and no-holds-barred take on the anti-hero. While Damage State's previous work showcased a knack for chaotic, satisfying combat, translating that into VR, coupled with Deadpool’s unique brand of meta-humor, is an exciting prospect.

The trailer itself is a glorious mess of what fans love about Wade Wilson. We see him in classic form, wielding his katanas and guns with reckless abandon, frequently breaking the fourth wall to directly address the player. Expect a barrage of his signature irreverent jokes, over-the-top violence, and the kind of self-aware commentary that only Deadpool can deliver. The VR format seems perfectly suited for Deadpool's antics, allowing for an immersive experience where players are directly in the firing line of his wit and his enemies' attacks.

Deadpool: VR is set to launch in 2024 for Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest Pro. This ensures a wide audience of VR enthusiasts can jump into the mayhem. Prepare for a game that promises to be as unpredictable and hilarious as Deadpool himself, bringing a fresh, chaotic energy to the virtual reality landscape.
