After the “stupendous success” (read: people actually liked it, what a miracle 🙌) of Project Hail Mary at the box office, we’re now being treated to a brand new video game, because who needs original ideas, right? 🤣 The game, titled Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, is a mixed experience between VR and AR visuals, because why choose just one, when you can have both and potentially give players a headache 🤯. Developed by Maze Theory, the same people who brought you Doctor Who: The Edge of Time and Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom, this game is shaping up to be a real masterpiece 🎨. Andy Weir, the series creator, has written an entirely new chapter in the Hail Mary mission, because who needs a cohesive story when you can just add more stuff 📚.
The game follows Ryland Grace, the most charming and not-at-all-awkward protagonist, as he tries to prevent a catastrophe at a pivotal moment in the main story. And, of course, he’s not alone, he’s got his trusty sidekick Rocky, the rock that’s not just a rock, but a valuable asset 🤜. When interacting with Rocky, players can expect all sorts of hilarious interactions, including jazz hands and a fist bump or a “fist my bump,” as Rocky calls it 🤣. Because, you know, that’s exactly what you want in a video game, more fist bumps 🤜.
The trailer shows off a seamless blend of Altered Reality and Virtual Reality, with the room you’re in becoming the cockpit of the Hail Mary. And, because who needs a controller when you can use a workable joystick to control the orientation of the ship itself 🚀? The game also features realistic zero gravity physics, because who doesn’t love floating around in space, bumping into things 🤦♀️. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is coming to MR and VR platforms in late 2026, just in time for the holiday season, when you can gift it to your annoying cousin who loves space stuff 🎁.
In a statement, Andy Weir said, “Since creating Project Hail Mary a few years ago, fans have been waiting for more,” which is code for “we’re going to milk this franchise for all it’s worth 🤑”. The game is set to be a thrilling experience, full of excitement, adventure, and probably a few more fist bumps 🤜. So, buckle up, folks, and get ready to join Ryland Grace on his latest journey, because it’s going to be a wild ride 🎢. 🚀👽💫
