Some of the coolest things we saw at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con were all the various virtual reality experiences created for Google Cardboard and the like, and before we put a wrap on our coverage of the show, we have one more announcement from Legendary about that very thing!

From the Press Release:
Hot on the heels of the launch of the Legendary VR app, featuring three unique virtual reality experiences viewable on the new Google Cardboard, Legendary is now bringing the Warcraft and Crimson Peak experiences to a wider audience by publishing them to YouTube 360 (Chrome browser necessary), Google’s recently launched streaming video service that lets viewers look in any direction, not just where the camera is pointing – without the need of any additional hardware.

Now, fans all over the world will be able to enter the world of Legendary’s newest titles by visiting YouTube 360 and exploring these experiences, which launched at SDCC 2015, as immersive 360-degree video or through Google Cardboard.

We have the videos below, but again, you’ll need to use a Chrome browser to see them in action.
