Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series isn’t being billed as a game. Rather, it is being described as an immersive and interactive story. People will be able to enter Darth Vader’s palace on Mustafar and become a part of the action and story themselves. This will be a part of the Star Wars canon and continue Darth Vader’s story. It will take place between the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It will also connect to Secrets of the Empire, although it isn’t known how. Inside of Vader’s palace, people will be encountering Darth Vader himself and also wielding a lightsaber.

Facebook’s new Oculus Quest will be available in early 2019. It will go for $399 and will have over 50 games when it launches, including this one.
