Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars Officially Arrives November 12
Project Hail Mary was one of the best movies of the year, and whether you’re a fan of the film or the book by Andy Weir, you’ll have something new to look forward to this November. Billed as an untold chapter, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars sees Ryland Grace and Rocky return for one more adventure. A new trailer debuted at the end of October, ahead of Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars‘ official release date on November 12, 2026.
Story details on Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars are pretty scarce. We know it’s a side story to both the book and film, allowing fans to experience a part of Grace’s mission that Andy Weir wrote for this exact purpose. Thankfully, the latest trailer briefly shows off Rocky, so we know the beloved Eridian is back. The upcoming VR game is available to preorder now from Meta, and also offers up three exclusive preorder bonuses. You can view the trailer below.
“Work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home,” reads the official description for the game. As Ryland Grace, players will get to manage the ship and its cargo, diagnose failing systems, and improvise scientific solutions while abord the Hail Mary. Perhaps most importantly of all, you’ll be able to interact with Rocky on the journey to Eridani. And, yes, this is a brand-new story not featured in the movie or book.
Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars will work with Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro. Right now, the game has a discount, so you can snag it for $17.99 versus its MSRP of $19.99. Preordering through the Meta storefront will earn you three gold xenonite sculptures as an in-game pre-order bonus.

Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is developed by Maze Theory, which has made licensed VR games for other familar IPs like Peaky Blinders and Doctor Who, as well as Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. If you don’t have any of the compatible Meta devices, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is also planned for release on PICO and Android XR.
While this isn’t the sequel some fans may have been hoping for, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is at least a way to spend more time with Rocky and Ryland Grace without having to worry about what a full-fledged follow-up might do to two widely-adored characters (in other words, we don’t have to worry about it ruining anything). Honestly, just getting to hang out with Rocky sounds like enough of a selling point.
It will be interesting to see what this new chapter adds to the current story seen in the book and film. Even if it offers up nothing groundbreakingly new, it’ll at least be nice to return to the Hail Mary again. For all the fans of Project Hail Mary out there, be sure to mark your calendars for November 12.
