Marvel Powers United VR, the upcoming co-op superhero adventure game for Oculus Rift, revealed that two of its twelve payable heroes are coming from the Inhuman franchise: Black Bolt and Crystal.
The upcoming Inhumans TV series just debuted its first two episodes back-to-back September 1st at IMAX screens across the world, and while it wasn’t particularly well-received—it’s rated 0% on Rotten Tomatoes—the VR teaser trailer seems to look promising, with Black Bolt’s booming voice and Crystal’s elemental powers offering the player an interesting departure from the beat-em-up abilities of the already announced cast of heroes.
Marvel Powers United VR doesn’t have a launch date yet, but a number of playable characters have already been announced including Hulk, Rocket Raccoon, Captain Marvel, Ronan the Accuser, and Deadpool. With Black Bolt and Crystal in the mix, six spots remain.
While we’re hoping for more ‘main franchise’ characters, future hero reveals could sync up with heroes featured in Marvel’s upcoming films; Thor: Ragnorok (2017), Black Panther (2018), and Captain America: Civil War (2018).
