Delisting
On December 31st, 2013, the digital versions of Deadpool on Steam, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 were delisted for the first time, just six months after their release, alongside most other Marvel titles published by Activision at the time. With the buzz around the upcoming Deadpool film, Activision renewed the license, ported the game to newer consoles, and relisted the original versions for sale a year and a half later in July of 2015. They were delisted two and a half years after returning.
Deadpool was delisted for a second time on all platforms on November 16th, 2017. The removal comes exactly two years after the game made its debut on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and two-and-a-half years after the game was initially relisted. This delisting is due to the expiration of Activision’s license of Deadpool from Marvel.
About the Game
“There are a few important things I need to say before you crack into my insanely sweet game. (Oof. Here we go again.) I’m a mercenary with an accelerated healing factor. I’ve been described as unstable, which is just plain coo-coo. (Wait, do sane people say coo-coo?) I’m gonna battle for the safety of humans and mutants. (And even mumans.) Be prepared for just about anything. (Holla!)
Key Features:
- I made sure to capture all my good sides, so I made my game a third-person action-shooter. (Yep, you get to look at my heinie.)
- Keep a look out cuz some of my X-Men pals (Whoa, what pals?!) are making an appearance. (Hope you don’t mind picking hair out of your tacos.)
- I’m really good at killing, so I made it a blast stringing together combos, and totally eviscerating my enemies. (Ev-is-cer-a-ting!)
- I brought my skills and a buttload of my favorite things. Katanas (check), guns (bang!) explosives (boom), duct tape (quack) and of course, yours truly – ME! (Checkmate!)“
