It’s been a little under a year since we first announced MARVEL Powers United VR—a new co-op VR game from Marvel Games, Sanzaru Games, and Oculus Studios that lets you live out your innermost Super Hero fantasies. So far, we’ve peeled back the curtain on seven of our playable characters: Captain Marvel, The Hulk, Rocket Raccoon, Deadpool, Black Bolt, Crystal, and Thor. Today, we’re excited to reveal that Black Panther is joining the lineup! The game will ship on July 26 with 18 playable Super Heroes, eight villains to battle, and 10 stunning locations directly from the pages of your favorite Marvel comics—and you can pre-order yours today for $39.99 USD.

Wield the powers of the Panther God while playing as T’Challa, king of the secluded African nation of Wakanda. In addition to incredible super-human strength, agility, and endurance, your advanced Vibranium-powered suit will help you protect your home and join your allies when they need help.

We’ll share weekly news on the blog as we head towards launch, plus never-before-seen game art on the Oculus subreddit, so get ready because the hype train has officially left the station.

Mark your calendars for July 26 and get your pre-order in now.

Wakanda forever!
