Penn & Teller are a magical duo that have become famous for... well, their magic. They've performed for decades to mix comedy and magic tricks together, and have a Las Vegas show of their own, although now they're moving into the virtual world courtesy of Gearbox Software.

At PAX East yesterday Gearbox revealed a game they'd teased on Twitter before the show, this being Penn and Teller VR: Frankly Unfair, Unkind, Unnecessary & Underhanded. It features the titular magicians and will be coming to Oculus, HTC Vive, and PSVR headsets this summer.

Other than that we know virtually no details on the game, although we'd say expect some cool tricks utilising the medium, where the possibilities of what they can do are endless. Considering the card trick that Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford performed on stage yesterday as well, we'd say he's a pretty big fan of magic too.

This isn't the magical duo's first outing into virtual reality either, as they released their Desert Bus VR experience in 2017, bringing their 1998 minigame to the virtual world.

Another game we got confirmation of last night was the long-awaited Borderlands 3, which had been finally confirmed after months of speculation.

What do you want from this game?
