As was the case with the magnificent Marvel’s Spider-Man last year, Sony has partnered with Marvel Games once more to bring Iron Man VR exclusively to PlayStation VR. This time it’s Republique developer Camouflaj in the hot-seat, and writing on the PlayStation Blog director Ryan Payton has revealed that the release has been in production for over two years already.
You play as the “genius inventor Tony Stark” who “confronts ghosts from his past”. According to the post, you’ll “come face-to-face with iconic allies and Super Villains as they jet around the globe on a heroic mission to save not only Stark Industries, but the world itself”. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Apparently this is going to be quite story-driven, so not just a bog-standard shooting gallery.
“We have so much to reveal about the game and many fun development stories to tell, but we’ll save that for another day,” Payton concluded. “[For now], we are excited to celebrate with you that an authentic, fully-featured Iron Man VR game is on the way.” The team’s certainly talking a good game, so let’s hope this project delivers on its impressive potential.

And if this does well maybe they'll greenlight a AAA Iron man game for PS5. How you go about doing g it though I don't know cos it has the same problem as trying to do a Superman game.
These Marvel licenses are a really big deal for Sony. I guess it pays to be in the movie industry.
But what made Spiderman so great was also the fact that it was in the hands of skilled developers Insomniac.
i'm not the biggest iron man fan but i am curious about the gameplay, flying around and shooting stuff does sound like fun in VR so i will keep an eye out on this one.
Out of all the VR games they showed last night I think this looked the dullest.
I was reminded immediately of the Spider-Man Homecoming VR “experience”...that’s not a good memory...but time will tell!!
If it's really the case, then I really hope it manages to succeed where Homecoming VR fell.
Very interested to see how this plays. Just read Blood & Truth is released 29 May 2019. WHOOP!
If it has the same love and production values as Astro Bot then we are in for something special:)
they should have made a better trailer
@get2sammyb I wonder what David Jaffe has to say about this....
That's the problem with VR, all the more so for people who never experienced it. It's difficult to show off on a flat screen how good it could be and you have to rely on first hands impression and reviews.
