Well, this may not technically be a first-party PlayStation project, but Sony hasn’t forgotten about PSVR2 entirely.
In fact, the headset remains very relevant right now, with numerous noteworthy titles releasing for it. And Sony Pictures Virtual Reality has added another title for you to look forward to: a stealth action adaptation of award-winning TV series The Boys.
Fully titled The Boys: Trigger Warning, this project promises a new story with the original cast and writers involved. It’s being developed by VR specialist studio ARVORE, who also made Pixel Ripped 1978.
Studio founder Ricardo Justus said:
“From day one, we wanted to build an adaptation hand-in-hand with the people who defined this universe. Working with the show’s writers and cast allowed us to bring the edge, humor, and brutality that made the series iconic, delivered with the spark of magic only ARVORE can create.”
The press release promises a stealth action experience where you’ll be put on “the front lines of the war against Supes”.
It continues:
“Developed with the creators and featuring cast members from the hit series, The Boys: Trigger Warning introduces an original character who accidentally uncovers a grotesque Vought secret that turns a family outing into carnage. Forced to become a Supe, the player joins The Boys to infiltrate Vought and take revenge in the most chaotic way possible. Blending stealth and combat with the franchise’s signature dark humour, the virtual reality title delivers a new story rooted in the world fans love.”
The blurb adds that the final product “showcases what becomes possible when a world-class entertainment franchise and an Emmy-winning VR studio collaborate, uniquely blending story and physical gameplay”.
There’s no specific release window mentioned, but the game’s due out in 2026. Between this and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, next year is looking like it’s going to be another strong year for PSVR2.
