The Boys: Trigger Warning – Story, gameplay, and platforms.

The Boys: Trigger Warning is the first official video game set in the The Boys universe, developed for virtual reality by ARVORE and published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality. The title brings the satirical, violent and corrupt tone of the series into a VR experience focused on stealth, physical combat and moral decisions.

Below is a clear look at its story, its gameplay and the platforms where it will be available.

What The Boys: Trigger Warning Is About

The game presents an original story inside the world of Vought International. The main character is Lucas Costa, an ordinary civilian whose life changes abruptly after discovering a “grotesque secret” tied to the corporation. This discovery triggers a massacre caused by the Armstrongs, a fallen family of low-tier Supes. To survive, Lucas injects himself with Compound V, gaining unstable powers that may fail or cause collateral damage.

After the incident, The Boys —Billy Butcher, Mother’s Milk and Kimiko— recruit him to infiltrate Vought Tower and Voughtland, a Supe-themed amusement park. His mission is to dismantle internal operations and confront known figures from the universe, including twisted versions of characters such as Soldier Boy.

Confirmed characters with original voice actors:

• Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso)
• Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie)
• Adam Bourke (P.J. Byrne)
• Soldier Boy, in an exclusive version created for the game (Jensen Ackles)
• Cameos from Butcher, Kimiko and Homelander

The campaign has an estimated duration of 8 to 10 hours, features a non-linear structure with alternate endings, and maintains the adult tone of the franchise: explicit gore, satire, drugs and graphic violence.

Gameplay Overview

The gameplay is designed as stealth-action VR, centered on physical interaction and direct combat. The player uses real hands to climb, push, punch, throw objects and activate powers through gestures. ARVORE highlights that this approach helps convey the chaos and brutality of The Boys’ universe in a more immersive way.

Main Gameplay Elements

• Stealth: infiltrating Vought facilities while avoiding guards and Supes, using shadows and improvised tools.
• Physical combat: hand-to-hand fights with gore, fast transitions between stealth and full chaos, and unstable powers that may fail or spiral out of control.
• VR exploration: puzzles, destructible environments and alternate routes inside Vought Tower and Voughtland.
• Bosses and special encounters: highlights include the exclusive version of Soldier Boy, created specifically for the game.

The reveal trailer shows real gameplay segments: chases, violent clashes, escapes inside Voughtland attractions and a threatening appearance from Homelander. Initial reception has been strong in views, even with mixed comments about visuals — common for Meta Quest and PS VR2 titles.
