VADER IMMORTAL: A STAR WARS VR SERIES is Coming To PlayStation VR Soon!
The Star Wars VR experience, Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, has only been available on the Oculus Quest since its release. I’ve been wanting to play the game, but I didn’t want to have to go out and buy the Oculus! But, for those of you, like myself, who have PlayStation VR, our time is coming where we will actually be able to finally play the game!
ILMxLAB recently announced that Vader Immortal will be made available on PlayStation VR and it’s coming sometime this summer. All three-episodes of the VR series will be released.
The ILMxLAB created game allows players to take on the role of a smuggler who is recruited by Darth Vader for a mysterious mission. Here’s the synopsis for the VR experience:
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series lets you step inside your own Star Wars cinematic adventure as a smuggler operating near Mustafar, the fiery world Darth Vader calls home. When you are unexpectedly pulled out of hyperspace, you find yourself uncovering an ancient mystery at the behest of the Sith Lord himself. The series also includes the popular Lightsaber Dojo modes, where fans can spend hours honing their skills with iconic lightsabers and more in Vader’s training dojo..
Mark Miller, Executive Creative Producer at ILMxLAB said in a statement:
“We are very excited to be partnering with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring Vader Immortal to PlayStation VR. I never get tired of watching people react to Darth Vader approaching them, following them with his gaze and speaking directly to them. We can’t wait to share this experience with a broader audience.”
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series was written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Blade) and directed by Ben Snow (Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire). Scott Lawrence voices Darth Vader while Maya Rudolph is your droid sidekick ZO-E3.
We don’t have a specific release date yet, but I’ll definitely be picking myself up a copy!
