Fans of the irreverent deconstructionalist comic and award-winning TV series The Boys can finally experience its world of amoral superheroes in its first-ever video game adaptation—up close and personal in VR.
Announced via press release, The Boys: Trigger Warning brings players into the gritty, anti-superhero universe with a new virtual reality game experience from the award-winning Brazilian game studio ARVORE and published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality. The game features beloved cast members returning to their roles, including Laz Alonso, Colby Minifie and P.J. Byrne. Jensen Ackles also appears as a twisted interpretation of Soldier Boy created exclusively for the game.
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. The game presents a more horror-driven experience, which feels somewhat appropriate given the many storylines present within The Boys.
“From day one, we wanted to build an adaptation hand-in-hand with the people who defined this universe,” said Founder and Head of Studio at ARVORE, Ricardo Justus. “Working with the show’s writers and cast allowed us to bring the edge, humour, and brutality that made the series iconic, delivered with the spark of magic only ARVORE can create.”
“We’re thrilled to work with ARVORE to bring The Boys: Trigger Warning to life in VR,” said SVP of Virtual Reality at Sony Pictures Entertainment, Lance Sloane. “Having the show’s creators involved in shaping the experience allows us to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling, and we’re grateful to collaborate with our friends at Meta and PlayStation to deliver it to fans.”
The Boys: Trigger Warning is now available to pre-order at a limited-time promotional price of $23.99 USD on the Meta Quest storefront and to wishlist on the PlayStation Store.
