Project Hail Mary: Journey Among The Stars Will Show Us An “Untold Chapter” Jonathan Olley /© Amazon MGM Studios /Courtesy Everett Collection Published Sep 19, 2026, 2:00 PM EDT Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there. Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. Considered one of the best movies of the year (a sentiment I agree with), Project Hail Mary took the world by storm when it hit cinemas back in March. Based on the best-selling science-fiction novel by Andy Weir, and starring Ryan Gosling in the main role, Project Hail Mary follows the story of a middle school teacher who awakens to find himself on a one-way trip to space. Luckily, he is soon joined by an alien creature and the pair embark on an unlikely friendship across the stars. Via MovieStillsDB Capable of making a grown woman cry over a rock (yes, it's me again), Project Hail Mary cemented itself as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2026, and received praise for its humor, themes, and visuals, as well as stunning performances by Gosling, Sandra Hüller, and James Ortiz. Now, a few months after its release, and Project Hail Mary is set to return later this year thanks to a stunning mixed-media release for PICO, Android XR, and Meta. Introducing an original narrative creative specifically for mixed media, this Project Hail Mary spin-off is not only set to expand the universe, but will allow users to step into the role of Ryland Grace himself during a pivotal, yet untold, moment during the mission. As you work alongside Rocky to help keep the Hail Mary airborne, you will need to diagnose failing systems, improve scientific solutions, and experience humanity's last hope in the flesh. Step into the role of Ryland Grace, the lone survivor of the Hail Mary mission. When critical systems begin to fail, survival depends on your ability to diagnose problems, improvise solutions, and push the limits of science and engineering. But you are not alone. Working alongside Rocky, an alien intelligence with his own desperate mission, an unlikely partnership begins. Through cooperation, ingenuity, and evolving trust, two species must learn to work together to keep the Hail Mary alive. Not only that, but Project Hail Mary author, Andy Weir, had this to say about the project titled Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars: “Since creating Project Hail Mary a few years ago, fans have been waiting for more. This is the first step outside of what happens in the book and movie that you can experience in mixed reality.” Launching globally across major mixed reality and VR platforms in late 2026, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, developed by Maze Theory, offers the ultimate VR experience for the Pico 4 and Meta Quest 3/3.
