For those who have been wanting to make the jump between the real world and the virtual world, Oculus VR comes with a brand new deal! Oculus is planning on launching a brand new flagship game, Marvel Powers United VR! The new game features a number of Marvel superheroes as playable characters.
The new retail package by Oculus was announced in San Diego at the Comic Con and already caught a lot attention from the right kind of people. The main aim of this game is to take take down the bad guys while playing the characters of the good guys!
The Oculus Rift Marvel Powers United VR bundle will launch on 31 July, priced at the usual $ 400, but with a copy of the game included in the deal for free. Oculus said while announcing the game that apart from the sleeve, everything inside the box is effectively identical to the Rift + Touch retail package, save for the game code. As like before, the retail package also includes Lucky’s Tale, Medium, Quill, Dead and Buried, and Robo Recall for free!
The new game’s 18 players include Spider Man, Doctor Strange, Star Lord, Storm, Captain America, Black Widow, Wolverine, Iceman, Hawkeye, Gamora, Thor, Rocket Raccoon, Black Bolt, Captain Marvel, The Hulk, Deadpool, Crystal and Black Panther. Users will be able to battle at 10 locations: Sakaar Arena, Knowhere Marketplace, Asgard, Jotunheim, The Palace of Attilan, Downtown New York, the Dark Dimension, the X-Mansion Hangar, Halfworld, and Wakanda.
While this experience only seems basic in its essence, what makes the whole thing all the more exciting is the enabled headset and touch enabled controllers. As a Marvel fan, the only thing which could make this exciting for me is if we had a customised costume ready and waiting! Marvel, are you listening? We want a little more!
