Marvel’s polarizing and humour-filled Deadpool will be making his way to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 near the end of June. As such, fans of the comic book joker’s hijinks will be able to take on his digitized identity as the sweltering summer heat begins to engulf our continent.

The game’s exact release date, which happens to be June 25th, was unveiled today, through the use of a promotional comic image that appeared on Marvel’s official Facebook page. In addition to confirming when we’ll be able to get our hands on the action title, the ad also mentions a collaboration between Marvel and GameStop, which will allow the retailer to offer three different pre-order bonuses.

  • Two bonus Challenge Mode maps
  • Two exclusive costumes: Deadpool’s D-Pooly suit and Cable’s X-Force attire
  • “The most epic digital wallpaper ever.”

In related news, those who pre-order Deadpool through Amazon will be given a unique (and exclusive) digital cover sleeve, a five dollar discount off of Marvel graphic novels, plus a digital wallpaper.
