Notoriously delisted Activision game skyrockets in price thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine film

As a long-time gamer and collector, I can’t help but feel both intrigued and frustrated by the current state of Deadpool & Wolverine (2013). This game has had quite the rollercoaster ride in terms of availability and value. I remember when it first came out and was readily available at a reasonable price. But, ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest addition of Deadpool & Wolverine to their roster, the demand for this game has skyrocketed.


A Deadpool game without notoriety wouldn’t feel like a true representation of the character. However, its infamous past is quite intriguing. Released in 2013 by Activision, they lost the rights to Marvel games only a year later in 2014. Consequently, the game was withdrawn from circulation. To everyone’s surprise, it resurfaced a few years afterwards, but just as unexpectedly, it was taken off the market once more. The game’s history has been quite tumultuous, making obtaining physical copies a challenge for several years. Recently, due to the massive success and viral impact of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, the demand for the game has soared, causing prices for mint-condition copies to skyrocket to exorbitant levels.

The bidding for sealed game copies has reached a high of £142, and as the auction deadlines approach, it’s likely that price will climb further, potentially peaking at around £200.

The newest MCU film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine is now in theaters. After Marvel regained control of the X-Men franchise from Fox, this movie has generated significant excitement as it joins Disney’s groundbreaking collection of franchises. With Robert Downey Jr and the Russo Brothers set to return for The Avengers: Doomsday and introduce the Fantastic Four, it seems that the latest Deadpool production will bring a renewed energy to Marvel’s cinematic universe.

The extraordinary success of Deadpool and Wolverine in the media, leading to record-breaking opening weekend box office sales for an R-rated film, has significantly increased the value of the 2013 game. Due to this popularity boom, scalpers are capitalizing on the situation, making it challenging for collectors to purchase the game without paying a hefty price.

In this game, which is the sole title featuring the wise-cracking mercenary as the main character, players have the unique chance to experience his unconventional and humorous persona firsthand.

Recently, Fortnite gamers have been able to experience Deadpool and Wolverine in action. Meanwhile, Xbox controllers have showcased the backsides of Wade Wilson and Logan as exclusive designs. These gaming collaborations allow Marvel enthusiasts to embody their beloved sarcastic mercenary character. However, it seems that the most immersive experience currently available is shelling out hefty prices for a so-so comic book adaptation.
