Sony’s official PlayStation Blog states that “Iron Man VR,” the much awaited virtual reality game from Marvel that will have you step into the metal shoes of the charismatic Tony Stark, will be released on July 3, alongside Sony’s latest PlayStation VR bundle.

The launch will bring a bundle that includes a copy of the “Iron Man VR” full game, a PlayStation VR headset, a PlayStation camera, two PlayStation Move motion controllers, and a VR demo disc to get you started with how to set up your virtual reality gaming arena.

However, if the July 3 release date still feels too far away, and you have a PlayStation VR setup waiting at home, you can get your hands on an early demo copy of the game, already. Through the demo, you will don Iron Man’s signature armor to fly and pummel your way through a “Malibu” tutorial mission, flight and advanced combat optional mission challenges, a Stark Jet gameplay mission called “Out of the Blue,” and an interactive Stark Jet cinematic section, which would feature Friday, Pepper Potts and you in the starring role of Tony Stark.

While the demo may seem limited, Sony states that “by the end of the ‘Out of the Blue’ mission, you’ll start to feel like Iron Man as you fly, shoot, and Rocket Punch through some of Tony’s Ghost-hacked, Stark Tech drone problems.”

If you wouldn’t be as lucky as to have a PlayStation console and a VR bundle lying around at home, what you can do is tune in to a 15-minute live gameplay demonstration of how it would feel like to fly around the world like Iron Man.

The demo looks encouraging as a virtual reality game, and may just be the big crowd puller for Sony’s VR gaming platform under its PlayStation umbrella.

The VR gaming bundle is priced at US$350.
