‘The Boys: Trigger Warning’ VR Game Slammed by Fans After New Trailer Release

by

The popular series The Boys is scheduled to end in April 2026, but fans will soon be able to continue the story in a new virtual reality game developed by Sony. Despite the potential for excitement, the game’s trailer hasn’t been well-received, with criticism directed at both its title and graphics. Here’s what the game is about:

Step into the world of The Boys with this new story where you team up with Butcher, MM, and Kimiko. Use powerful, unpredictable abilities to uncover Vought’s most dangerous secrets. Created with the show’s writers and actors, this experience brings The Boys to life in a whole new way. Prepare to experience The Boys like never before.

The latest trailer for the upcoming game, launching on Meta Quest and PSVR2, features comical, puppet-like versions of beloved characters from The Boys. The trailer shows the player traveling along a track similar to a theme park ride before being hit by Homelander’s laser vision. Following that, fast-paced gameplay footage reveals players will be immersed in intense confrontations with Homelander, Billy Butcher, Soldier Boy, and more.

Players haven’t been happy with how the game looks, with some criticizing the developers for prioritizing the Meta Quest’s limitations and sacrificing visual quality to work on standalone headsets. However, the game’s title, The Boys: Trigger Warning, has received even more negative feedback.

‘The Boys’ Fans Hate ‘Trigger Warning’s Name

A game like The Boys: Trigger Warning would have been a hit in the past. But gamers’ expectations have changed, and this new game doesn’t quite deliver what they’re looking for. Plus, the title hasn’t helped its reception.

Many viewers reacted negatively to the game’s title, “Trigger Warning,” after the trailer was released. One commenter asked if the title was really decided on, while others described it as one of the worst or most embarrassing game titles they’d seen in a long time.

Prime Video’s The Boys has become a huge hit, with both the original series and its spin-off, Gen V, consistently attracting large audiences. The next addition to the franchise will be Vought Rising, a prequel that explores the origins of the powerful Vought corporation. Jensen Ackles will return as Soldier Boy, teaming up with Aya Cash’s Stormfront to solve a murder mystery in Vought’s early years. While a specific release date hasn’t been announced, Vought Rising is currently slated for a 2026 debut.
