Scallywag says thatTaskmaster VRwill offer fans and gamers alike an “immersive opportunity” to engage with the show’s features and its stars in a new way, with Davies and Alex Horne, the show’s creator and the Taskmaster’s assistant, along for the fully voice acted experience.
“Genuinely, this is extraordinary, brilliant and very fun,” said Horne. “Also, I’ve always wanted to be a contestant onTaskmasterso 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.”
