All three episodes of Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, alongside their Lightsaber Dojo counterparts, will be packaged together as a single set for PSVR.
“Back in 2016, when ILMxLAB first started talking about creating a canonical VR series that focused on Darth Vader, our goal was to tell a new and unique story about one of the most infamous villains in the galaxy,” creative director Mark Miller said. “We wanted to bring you into the world of Star Wars in a way that could only be done through immersive storytelling in VR.”
Last month, Camouflaj released Iron Man VR for PSVR. NME’s Jordon Oloman described the game as “a surprisingly ambitious superhero simulator which shows PlayStation VR’s enduring potential” in a glowing four-star review.
