Smart mouthed, mayhem prone anti hero Deadpool made a virtual reality debut in a Marvel Powers United game being tailored for Oculust Rift gear.
Developer Sanzaru Games collaborated with Marvel on Deadpool's virtual version based on the comic character, which was a smash in an eponymous film released last year.
The "fast talking, butt kicking Merc with a Mouth" joins Captain Marvel, Hulk and Rocket Raccoon in a game that lets players become superheroes fighting together againts super villains.
Game fans got their first shot at Deadpool in the Oculust VR game debut at Comic Con in Southern California.
More characters are expected to be added to Marvel Powers United by the time it is released next year. The price has yet to be announced.
"Crack wise and crack skulls as you wield katanas and hand cannon pistols - because why bring a knife to a gun fight whe you can have both?" a fact sheet for the game reasons.
Players wearing Rift headsets use Touch controllers to whip semi automatic pistols or Desert Eagle hand cannons from holsters and blast adversaries, prompting trademark wise cracks from their "Deadpool" persona, an advance test of the game revealed.
Katanas, the traditional Japanese swords, are unsheathed by reaching back over one's shoulders, and shuriken, the sharp edged, star shaped weapons, are thrown rapid fire with wrist flicks as Hulk smashes, Rocket Racoon opens fire from above and Captain Marvel obliterates bad guys with photon beams.
The ability of Deadpool to heal quickly from almost any injury meanwhile provides an edge as waves of enemies strike.
Marvel Powers United VR was touted as a first person, multi player game featuring explosive battles in settings from the Marvel universe.
The alliance with Marvel represented a coup for game published Oculus Studios, which has been striving to build a library of compelling experiences that will get people to buy Rift's virtual reality gear.
Rift and Touch controllers got a temporary price cut this month, bundled tohether at a discounted price of US$399.
Zombies, from the television series The Walking Dead and other demonds are coming to life for video game players in virtual words.
Gamers will be climbing into colosal war machines to battle high tech armies, wandering mutant infested post apocalyptic wastelands and going toe and toe with demons in new virtual reality offerinhs unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last montg.
The number of E3 exhibitors involved with virtual or augmented realities more than doubled to 126 from 53 last year.
Sony built on the array of games for its Playstation VR gear, which works with top selling Playstation 4 consoles.
Sony, HTC and Facebook owned Oculus are the top players in virtual reality head gear, each striving to stake out territory in the budding market.
While Sony's VR headsets work with PS 4 consoles, competing  gear requires computers that can handle the demand of processing rich, immersive graphics in real time.
