Get ready to transform your living room into the deep reaches of space! Fans of Andy Weir’s critically acclaimed, bestselling sci-fi universe are in for a massive treat. A brand-new, interactive mixed-reality experience—Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars—is officially making its way to VR and MR headsets in Autumn 2026.

Developed by immersive entertainment studio Maze Theory (the team behind Doctor Who: The Edge of Time and Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom) in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, this original adventure expands the beloved universe with a completely untold chapter of the Hail Mary mission.

Best of all? Author Andy Weir himself has penned this new story, ensuring every scientific puzzle, witty moment, and high-stakes dilemma stays true to the source material.

Step Into the Boots of Ryland Grace

In Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, players step directly into the first-person perspective of Ryland Grace, the lone surviving astronaut tasking himself with saving humanity.

As deep space grows increasingly unpredictable, critical systems aboard the ship begin to fail. To survive and keep the mission on track towards Eridani, you’ll have to:

• Diagnose failing systems across the Hail Mary.
• Improvise scientific and engineering solutions under immense pressure.
• Work side-by-side with Rocky, everyone’s favourite alien engineer from Erid, navigating cross-species communication, trust, and co-op problem solving in zero gravity.

Bringing the Hail Mary Into Your Living Room

What makes Journey Among the Stars stand out is its seamless integration of Mixed Reality (MR) technology.

By blending your physical environment with the digital layout of the Hail Mary, the game projects the spaceship’s control panels, diagnostics, and external space view directly over your real-world surroundings. Imagine looking past your living room wall and seeing the infinite black expanse of interstellar space—or having Rocky scuttle past your couch as you troubleshoot critical engine repairs.

Launching Autumn 2026

Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is scheduled to launch in Late 2026 across major VR and MR platforms, including Meta Quest 3 / 3S, PICO 4, and Android XR. Pre-orders and demo details are set to drop very soon, with fresh trailers giving players a sneak peek at the cinematic visuals and immersive co-op mechanics.

Whether you’re a hardcore sci-fi enthusiast, a fan of Andy Weir’s gripping storytelling, or a headset owner looking for the next showcase title, this interactive adventure is shaping up to be an absolute must-play.

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!
