ILMxLAB has released the trailer for their upcoming Darth Vader Immortal virtual reality game, which launches on Oculus Quest in 2019.
“Don’t fail him,” the video description teases.
The Darth Vader VR game was first announced back in 2016 with David S. Goyer attached:
The brand new story-based project, revealed in a short teaser, centers around a particularly iconic Star Wars character: Darth Vader. Just like VR is a new frontier, so sounds this venture. “When we looked at all the characters, places, and worlds in the Star Wars universe available to us, we asked ourselves, ‘What haven’t we seen before? Who are we curious about?” Goyer continued, “Darth Vader is the perfect ambassador to usher us into the Star Wars VR universe.”
ILMxLAB is also developing VR games for an untitled Marvel game and Wreck It Ralph.
