Recently, with the popularity of the Marvel movie "Deadpool and Wolverine", the price of the "Deadpool" game launched by Activision has skyrocketed in the second-hand market. At present, some players have listed the price of second-hand "Deadpool" games online as high as nearly 40,000 pounds, which is staggering.

The Deadpool game was originally released on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2013, developed by High Moon Studios and Activision. Two years later, a remastered version of the game was released for PS4 and Xbox One. However, due to the limited lifespan of licensed games, the Deadpool game was removed from the shelves in 2017.

Recently, due to the popularity of the movie "Deadpool vs. Wolverine", the price of second-hand physical copies of the "Deadpool" game has skyrocketed.

An auction on eBay in the UK raised the price of the game to nearly 40,000 pounds, but the auction has been withdrawn. The auction description stated that this sky-high price was to "let wealthy Deadpool fans prove how much they love Deadpool", but even the richest players are unlikely to be willing to pay such a high price for a second-hand game, which may be the reason why the auction was withdrawn.

Although the price of the "Deadpool" game has skyrocketed, the game's own reviews are not enough to support such a high price.

The game has a median review score of 62 on Metacritic. Critics praised the game's creative writing and sense of humor, but were dissatisfied with its slightly outdated hack-and-slash gameplay and level design. Deadpool games are similar to many superhero games of the era, but the influence of the Batman: Arkham series greatly raised the bar for such games, and Deadpool failed to achieve the same critical success.

Therefore, the current surge in the price of the Deadpool game is more likely to be a short-term impact of the popularity of the movie. For those who want to buy the game, it may be wiser to wait for the price to drop to a more reasonable level before buying it.

It's unclear whether Marvel Games would consider launching a new Deadpool game, but with the mainstream popularity of the Deadpool character, now might be the perfect time to develop a new one.
