ILMxLAB's upcoming VR series Vader Immortal will put you at the center of an original and canonical adventure set between the events of STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH and STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE. After being captured by Darth Vader on his fortress on Mustafar, your character, captain of the smuggling vessel Windfall, is ordered to undertake a quest for an ancient Force artifact — or else. You can get a taste of that in the new trailer for the first episode of the three-part series, which also features ZOE3, a droid who serves as your partner and co-pilot throughout the game.
The official synopsis for Vader Immortal:
Set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series is an original narrative adventure that lets audiences step into the role of a smuggler operating near Mustafar, the volcanic world that Darth Vader calls home. In typical Star Wars fashion, they’ll soon find themselves in the middle of a grand adventure as they are unexpectedly pulled out of hyperspace — and eventually come face to face with the Sith Lord himself.
Saturday Night Live's Maya Rudolph provides the voice of ZOE3, and in a statement, Vader Immortal writer and executive producer David S. Goyer said, "Much in the way Alan Tudyk did with K-2SO, we needed somebody for this role that could create a unique character using their improvisation and performance skills. Maya truly was the first person we thought of, right from the very beginning, and her contributions and sense of humor have guided ZOE3 every step of the way." Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series – Episode 1 will be released this Spring on Oculus Quest and Rift headsets.
