The gaming world is abuzz as COLD VR, the spiritual follow-up to the hugely popular SUPERHOT VR launched back in 2016, is set to make its debut on Quest and PC VR headsets next month, while PlayStation VR 2 enthusiasts will have to wait just a bit longer.
SUPERHOT VR might be a game from the past, but it still stands out as a masterpiece. Its distinctive mechanic of time halting with movement is an innovation that hasn’t seen many imitators, which makes it all the more exciting to see how COLD VR handles this concept. However, instead of mirroring the same mechanics, COLD VR shifts the perspective by forcing players to speed up. In this game, slowing your movements actually quickens the flow of time and the pace of enemy attacks. Lingering too long over decisions can lead to a quick demise.
Developed by ALLWARE, the game recently got a fresh spotlight thanks to a new trailer that reveals their collaboration with publisher Perp Games. Mark your calendars for January 21st, 2025, when COLD VR launches on Quest and PC VR. As for the PSVR 2 version, its release is promised for a later date, though no specific timeline has been given yet.
The upcoming game teases not just smarter enemy AI but also additional environmental challenges like deadly lasers, moving platforms, and unexpected twists, ensuring that even the bravest players are kept on their toes. “Working on COLD VR has been a fantastic journey,” shares Carlos Alfonso from ALLWARE. “With Perp Games’ incredible support, we’re excited to offer players a fresh experience where time manipulation is key. Thanks to their partnership, extending the reach of COLD VR to platforms like PSVR2 and Quest is no longer just a dream. I’m stoked for what the future holds!”
For those eager to dive into this thrilling adventure, COLD VR is available to wishlist right now on various platforms, and it’s priced awesomely at $19.99 / £14.99 / €19.99. Check it out on the Horizon Store for Quest 2/3/Pro, Steam for PC VR, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
