A virtual reality game based on Rick And Morty is on the horizon, and it’s been given an incredibly apt release date.

PS5 price is £450 in UK, release date is November with Game Pass equivalent

The VR game for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive titled Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality was announced by Owlchemy Labs and Adult Swim last year, and now it’s been given the official release date of 20 April, 2017.

But why is this so perfect? The date is known as the unofficial international day for smoking cannabis – so we’re sure the creators are out to cause some surreal hi-jinks.

Could it be mere coincidence? Considering show creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon previously trolled fans by releasing the first episode of season three on April Fool’s Day, we’re sure the timing is no loosely-tied correlation.




The game itself puts players in the shoes of Morty, and takes place in Rick’s garage where they’re tasked with completing puzzles.

Speaking to Polygon, developer Alex Schwartz said: ‘Rick’s garage is filled with tons of stuff to play with. Chemistry sets and just boxes of things on the shelves. Elements from the show. It’s fully crammed in there.’

Some eager fans however have already been modding current games to satisfy their Rick And Morty cravings, with one in Grand Theft Auto 5 imagining a horde of Rick’s clones descending upon Los Santos.

Superb.

If you’re simply pining for more Rick And Morty episodes however, the show is set to continue in the summer.
