Video game developer High Moon Studios and publisher Activision are announcing fans of the upcoming Deadpool video game that the experience will also include appearances from Cable and Death.

The reveal was made on Marvel Collectors and is linked to the Official Xbox Magazine, so it all seems very plausible.

The developers have not said whether the pair will be playable or whether they will only show up in order to thwart Deadpool’s initiatives.

The video game will have Nolan North reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth.

The game uses the third-person view and will involve both exploration and combat, with Deadpool breaking the fourth wall in order to talk directly to the player.

Deadpool will be launched on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 at some point during this year.
