COLD VR is poised to be the spiritual successor to the longstanding fan-favorite, SUPERHOT VR, which took the gaming world by storm back in 2016. The game is gearing up for release on Quest and PC VR headsets next month, with anticipation mounting for its eventual debut on the PSVR 2.
Despite its age, SUPERHOT VR continues to be a gem, remarkable for its groundbreaking time-stopping movement mechanic. It’s a bit surprising that more game studios haven’t jumped on the opportunity to replicate its magic. Enter COLD VR, which takes that beloved formula and turns it on its head. Instead of slowing things down, COLD VR speeds things up. In this game, the slower you move, the faster time zips by, along with the ever-challenging enemy AI. Hesitate too long while crafting your plan, and you might find yourself defeated before you know it.
In a recent trailer, ALLWARE, the developer behind this exciting new title, announced they’ve partnered with publisher Perp Games. Together, they’re bringing COLD VR to Quest and PC VR headsets on January 21st, 2025, with a PSVR 2 version to follow at a later date. Fans won’t have to wait too long to dive into the action-packed world of COLD VR.
The game promises not just clever AI opponents but also environmental dangers like deadly lasers, shifting platforms, and other surprises for the bold explorers among us, according to ALLWARE.
Carlos Alfonso from ALLWARE shared his enthusiasm about the development journey, stating, “Creating COLD VR has been an amazing adventure. Working with Perp Games has been a game changer, allowing us to deliver this unique experience where time is a core gameplay element. Their support has been pivotal in reaching a wider audience than I ever dreamed possible. Thanks to them, we’re making COLD VR available on PSVR2 and Quest. I am absolutely thrilled about this dream becoming a reality and excited about the future!”
Eager players can already add COLD VR to their wishlists across various platforms. The game will be available for $19.99, £14.99, or €19.99. Look for it on the Horizon Store for Quest 2/3/Pro, Steam for PC VR systems, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
