As Deadpool & Wolverine readies itself for its theatrical unveiling this July, pinned on the coattails of something new, a fluke of the past has regained momentum. An iconic but forgotten Deadpool game that made its way over a decade ago is regenerating anticipation among fans as the absence of a new version is being felt far and wide. As per reports, another reason that has added to the reignited frenzy is its availability free of cost.

Fans have been going above and beyond to get their hands on the game as Deadpool & Wolverine reaches one step closer to its final disclosure.

Deadpool, an action-adventure video game inspired by Marvel's comic antihero of the same name, is currently causing a stir online. A Reddit post by a user named The Trammam has brought attention to the fact that the PC version, complete with built-in controller support, can be found for free on the Internet Archive as abandonware. The post encourages fans to dive into the game, expressing a hope that the increased interest may prompt the developers to create a new installment.

Developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision, the game was originally released for Microsoft Windows in digital format, as well as for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in June 2013. Penned by Daniel Way, the narrative sees Deadpool teaming up with Cable and the X-Men to thwart the latest scheme of Mister Sinister, all while embarking on a series of comic escapades. True to Deadpool's style, the game features plenty of self-referential humor and fourth-wall breaks, much like its comic counterparts.

Amidst the flurry of fan theories and eager searches, the Deadpool game has brought to light a rediscovered gem, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement. One user eagerly asked, "Where can I purchase the Xbox X version?" while another gratefully thanked the post's author, remarking, "for doing the lords work."

For some fans who were previously unaware of the game's existence, expressions of gratitude flooded in, with one enthusiast exclaiming, "you are the man, thanks so much for letting us all know!" The thread became a hub of inquiries, with users seeking the “link” and clarification on compatibility, such as, "will this work on a Mac?" It appears that the initial vision of the post's creator, urging fans to experience the game, has been realized, as the thread swells with eager questions and discussions.
