Deadpool VR finally shows actual gameplay. Twisted Pixel dropped extended combat footage revealing Neil Patrick Harris as the Merc with a Mouth slicing through Mojoworld with katanas, pistols, and his own severed limbs. John Leguizamo voices villain Mojo who tricks Deadpool into kidnapping Marvel baddies for his interdimensional reality show.

Players dual-wield guns/katanas, wall-run, throw grenades while holding enemies, and regenerate lost limbs mid-fight.

FAQs
Neil Patrick Harris or Ryan Reynolds?
Harris voices Deadpool. Reynolds posted promotional “overreaction” video. Comic-accurate design over MCU likeness.
Quest 3 exclusive forever?
Quest 3/3S launch. PCVR unlikely given Meta’s VR pivot. Content survives studio closure.
Single-player campaign length?
Full campaign similar to Iron Man VR (6-8 hours). Replayability through secrets, combat variety, upgrade paths.
Deadpool’s regeneration mechanics?
Damage shows on suit. Heavy hits sever limbs (can’t use that weapon hand). Regrows from baby hand to full over time.
Multiplayer or solo?
Pure single-player. Focuses on Deadpool spectacle over co-op/shooters.
Mojo’s reality show gimmick?
Deadpool kidnaps Marvel villains (Deathstrike, Omega Red) for Mojo’s TV production. Fourth-wall narrative throughout.
Post-launch support?
Twisted Pixel closure doesn’t affect existing game. No DLC/sequels expected amid Meta VR cuts.
VR’s Last Laugh
Deadpool VR captures Merc chaos perfectly through Neil Patrick Harris’ manic delivery. Limb-throwing insanity, katana boomerangs, grenade punches deliver unhinged combat spectacle. Twisted Pixel exits VR swinging with Deadpool’s katanas.
Neil Patrick Harris steals show from Ryan Reynolds’ shadow. Mojo’s reality TV premise enables Marvel villain parade. Quest 3 launch timing perfect before Meta abandons VR gaming. Deadpool goes out breaking fourth wall one last time.
