Hit Adult Swim series "Rock and Morty" may be headed to SteamVR and the HTC Vive as co-creator Justin Roiland revealed he's working on "several" titles for the VR headset.
Been up all night working on design documents for several VR video games I plan to bring to market for #HTCVive @steam_games I'm so pumped

Following his announcement on Twitter, a fan asked him if any of his work involves adapting "Rick and Morty" to VR, Twinfinite reported.
"All ideas are currently original IPs. Definitely want to also do a Rick and Morty #HTCVive game," Roiland replied.
Apart from his work on the Adult Swim series, Roiland is also known for being the voice of Oscar on Disney Channel's "Fish Hooks" and as The Earl of Lemongrab on Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time," according to TheVideoInk.
Prior to announcing his work on an animated virtual reality experience for the HTC Vive VR headset and the SteamVR platform, "Rick and Morty" dealt with VR.
"In a scene that was both hilarious and a poignant look into the distant future of the medium, Morty straps on a headset to play a game called 'Roy: A life well lived' in which he lived the life of a guy named Roy from start to finish," UploadVR said.
Roiland isn't doing his VR project solo, however.
"It appears that [he] plans to use those ideas at StressLevelZero where they are developing 'Hover Junkies,' Twinfinite said.
Driving this point further is a tweet by SouthWestVR showing Roiland's famous characters drawn using virtual reality tool TiltBrush.
UploadVR also highlighted a Reddit post from StressLevelZero from last month asking if a possible VR game co-created by them, Roiland and potentially Pen Ward, would be interesting. Further down the comments, the studio said "[it] will be our followup game to 'Hover Junkers,' nothing small."
Valve's SteamVR is a virtual reality distribution platform launched in 2014. The HTC Vive VR headset will be available in "limited quantities" later this year with the bulk of shipments moving in Q1 2016.
