Oculus recently teased the next addition to the Marvel Powers United VR lineup, which included the cryptic message “all hail the king,” accompanied by the sound of a large feline growling.
The obvious choice here would be Black Panther, but there is some room for speculation; in the films, T’Challa (Black Panther) eschewed wearing the black and gold suit, instead electing for a muted black and silver color scheme.

If you’re a fan of the film, you’ll remember the main villain Killmonger (played by Michael B. Jordan) took the black and gold Jaguar suit for himself when he ascended the throne of Wakanda. This may be looking too far into it, although the game’s affinity for filling out its cast with less ‘prime time’ characters like Rocket Raccoon, Black Bolt, Crystal, and Captain Marvel decidedly makes a Killmonger reveal a clear possibility.
The game also includes main characters Deadpool, The Hulk, Thor, Loki, and the villain Ronan The Accuser.
Either way, we’ll find out tomorrow, and hopefully have more information on the game’s precise release date. Currently, Marvel Powers United VR is slated to release sometime in 2018, and exclusively on Rift.
