Star Wars fans, rejoice. Players are about to get a look at Darth Vader from a totally unique angle: virtual reality. Gamers will be able to get up close and personal with the Sith Lord in a freshly announced ILMxLAB game dubbed Vader Immortal. Check out the new trailer!<\/p>\n

Though not much information about the game’s plot or gameplay has been released as of yet, ILMxLAB has released a few key details in a blog post<\/a> on their official site. The game, which will apparently be released episodically, will be released for the Oculus Quest at some point in 2019.<\/p>\n

Vader Immortal will be a flagship title for the as-yet-unreleased\u00a0device. The Quest, which is shipping at a $399 price point, can be purchased alongside Vader Immortal or as a standalone. ILMxLAB has a proven track record of bringing the Star Wars world to virtual reality, previously releasing VR and AR experiences like Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire and Trials on Tatooine.<\/p>\n

Vader Immortal will be set in the period between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope,” and will take place in Vader’s lava-bound fortress which was first revealed in “Rogue One.” Story details are sparse, but the series will span three episodes. Players will be taking on a third-party role as they go up against Vader in his fortress, but it’s still unclear if players will get to don that trademark armor themselves at some point.<\/p>\n

What is clear is that players will be wielding a lightsaber<\/strong> as they navigate the fortress. There’s a lot of narrative potential for players taking on the role of an unknown third party… experiencing a tense hunt through the fortress’s corridors, hearing Vader’s trademark breathing echo through the walls as he stalks his prey is a terrifying and electrifying prospect. Adding to the atmosphere is what certainly sounds like James Earl Jones returning to voice the iconic role… or at least a spot-on voice double.<\/p>\n

More details will doubtless become clear as the Oculus Quest approaches launch, but what’s been revealed so far is sure to leave any Star Wars fan salivating.<\/p>\n
