The development teams at High Moon Studio and publisher Activision announce that they have decided on the official cover for their upcoming Deadpool video game, which is designed to reflect the unique sensibilities of the character.

The cover puts the superhero, also known as The Merc with a Mouth, front and center, but there are also images of some of the supporting characters.

Because Marvel Comics has made Deadpool one of its most self-referential characters, the development team has included on the cover a quote that suggests the quality of the coming experience.

The game will be played from the third-person perspective and will allow players to use combos in order to take out ever increasing numbers of enemies.

Deadpool will be available to play on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the PC on June 25.
