Marvel Powers United VR Special Edition Oculus Rift Bundle Now Available to Order

Marvel Powers United VR is only days away from release for the Oculus Rift, and yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con Oculus announced that a Rift bundle will be available for anyone that is tempted to jump into VR and live out their superhero fantasies. That special edition bundle just went up for pre-order on Amazon for $399 with a release date slated for July 31st. It includes the VR headset, two Touch controllers and the game.

That's a pretty solid deal when you consider that the bundle is priced the same as the standard Oculus Rift headset. In other words, you get the game as a free bonus (if you already own an Oculus Rift, the game will set you back an additional $40 when it arrives on July 26th). If you still need a little convincing, the following launch trailer for Marvel Powers United VR might be enough to push you over the edge.

Playable characters include: Captain America, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iceman, Storm, Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon, Hulk, Crystal, Black Bolt, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Star-Lord, and Gamora.

Villains that you will battle in the game include: Ronan the Accuser, Loki, Venom, Ultron, Magneto, Dormammu, Madame Hydra, Scientist Supreme, and Thanos.
