A new mixed-reality game, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, is in development from Maze Theory in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios and is slated for late 2026 on major MR and VR platforms.

The game includes an original chapter co-written by Andy Weir specifically for this immersive experience.

Maze Theory leverages its AR/VR expertise from past titles like Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time to bring this project to life.

The experience aims to give players a more personal connection to the story by expanding beyond passive viewing into immersive participation.

Players will engage in hands-on diagnostics and improvisation to fix problems, underscoring the human-alien partnership as a core emotional thread.

The narrative centers on science and engineering problem-solving to save the day and deepen the bond between Grace and Rocky.

Weir describes Journey Among the Stars as the first step outside the book and movie, tying the broader project to themes of friendship between species.

The game chapter focuses on the friendship between Rocky and Ryland Grace, providing moments not depicted in the book or film.

Players assume the role of Ryland Grace and confront a pivotal moment in the Hail Mary mission, as portrayed in the film by its lead actor.

The experience blends augmented reality and virtual reality to heighten immersion and make the inter-species friendship feel more alive.
