Get ready for more ofThe Boys.

But this time, the action is in a virtual reality game, "The Boys: Trigger Warning," which Brazilian game studio Arvore and Sony Pictures Virtual Reality announced Monday.

Beginning in 2026, fans who play the game will find themselves "on the front lines of the war against Supes," according to a news release. Players team up with the Boys to infiltrate the corrupt Vought International.

Expect to see some familiar faces, as cast members Laz Alonso (Mother's Milk), Colby Minifie (Ashley Barrett), and P.J. Byrne (Adam Bourke) reprise their roles. Jensen Ackles, who played Soldier Boy on the series, will appear as "a twisted version" of the character that was created just for the game.

Ricardo Justus, Arvore's founder and head of studio, emphasized the involvement of the people behind the Prime series.

"From day one, we wanted to build an adaptation hand-in-hand with the people who defined this universe," Justus said. "Working with the show's writers and cast allowed us to bring the edge, humor, and brutality that made the series iconic, delivered with the spark of magic only ARVORE can create."

Based on the comic book series of the same name,The Boysdepicts a world in which superheroes are celebrities who don't always use their powers for good. The title characters are a group that attempts to thwart the supes' corruption.

The Prime Video series began in 2019 and has dropped four seasons, the most recent in summer 2024. Starring Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, and Karl Urban, it's racked up four Emmys for its stunts and music.
