Scallywag Arcade to launch Taskmaster VR game in 2024

Scallywag Arcade has teamed up with Avalon on a Taskmaster VR game.

Launching in 2024, Taskmaster VR will see players step into the shoes of a contestant and let loose in the Taskmaster House in a bid to win Greg’s golden head trophy.

“Genuinely, this is extraordinary, brilliant and very fun,” said show creator and the Taskmaster’s Assistant, Alex Horne.

“Also, I’ve always wanted to be a contestant on Taskmaster so this is great for me as a VR user – except that I will also have my virtual self watching my attempts and undermining my confidence, so I may well regret the whole venture after I’ve had a go.”

Niall Taylor, Head of Games at Scallywag Arcade, added: “The world of Taskmaster is perfect for VR. Combining the hilarity of the show with the freedom of virtual reality gives players an immersive – and slightly mad – experience”.

Greg Davies, the Taskmaster, said: “The team have done an incredible job and the game is a really exciting addition to the Taskmaster world. On a personal note, the creation of a virtual reality Taskmaster takes me ever closer to my ultimate goal of working without even leaving my sofa”.

Taskmaster VR is set to launch in 2024 for Meta Quest 2 and 3.
