Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and Brazilian studio Arvore have revealed the first official VR game adaptation of Amazon's 'The Boys,' titled 'The Boys: Trigger Warning,' set to launch in 2026. The stealth-action title features reprising cast members and an original story within the series' universe, developed in collaboration with show creator Eric Kripke. It is available for pre-order on Meta Quest at a promotional price of $23.99 USD.
Game Overview
The Boys: Trigger Warning is a stealth-action VR game that immerses players in the satirical superhero world of 'The Boys.' Players take on the role of an original character who stumbles upon a horrific Vought secret during a family outing, leading to chaos and transformation into a Supe. Forced to join Billy Butcher's vigilante group, the protagonist infiltrates Vought for revenge, blending stealth mechanics, combat, and the franchise's signature dark humor and social commentary.
Cast and Collaboration
The game includes voice performances from key cast members reprising their roles: Laz Alonso as Mother's Milk, Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett, P.J. Byrne as Adam Bourke, and Jensen Ackles in a twisted, game-exclusive take on Soldier Boy. Developed hand-in-hand with 'The Boys' creator Eric Kripke and his writing team, the project ensures authenticity in tone, dialogue, and character interactions. Arvore's team shared that the collaboration went beyond approvals, with the show's writers shaping scenes and providing production materials to recreate locations like The Seven's conference room and Voughtland.
Development Insights
Arvore founder Ricardo Justus emphasized the game's focus on the series' edge, humor, and brutality, enhanced by VR's immersive physicality. 'The show's characteristic violence feels even more absurd and physical here because VR puts you right in the middle of it,' Justus told Variety. Creative director Ricardo Laganaro highlighted how superpowers feel embodied in VR, allowing players to perform chaotic actions that echo the show's parody of superhero culture.
Release and Availability
Set for a 2026 debut on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR platforms, the game follows the recent CCXP reveal of 'The Boys' Season 5 premiere on April 8, 2026, on Prime Video. Sony Pictures VR SVP Lance Sloane noted the partnership pushes immersive storytelling boundaries. This marks the first full game adaptation of the universe, distinct from cameo appearances like Homelander in 'Mortal Kombat 1.'
