Next month brings exciting news for VR enthusiasts: COLD VR, the eagerly awaited spiritual successor to the acclaimed SUPERHOT VR from 2016, is gearing up for release on Quest and PC VR platforms. For those eagerly awaiting its arrival on PSVR 2, hang tight; it’s coming, just a bit later.
Anyone who’s experienced Superhot VR knows it’s a gem that has stood the test of time. Strangely enough, not many studios have dived into crafting a game that embraces its distinctive feature of halting time with movement. COLD VR is daring enough to play with this concept, but with a twist: instead of slowing things down, you’ll speed them up. In this game, slowing down means time speeds up, along with the fast-paced enemy AI. So, if you spend too long deciding your next move, you’ll find yourself in a pinch.
Recently, developer ALLWARE revealed in an exciting trailer that they’re collaborating with publisher Perp Games to launch COLD VR. Mark your calendars for January 21st, 2025, because that’s when it lands on Quest and PC VR headsets. As for the PSVR 2 release, it’s on the horizon but without a specific date for now.
What can players expect? Well, apart from a ramped-up enemy AI, get ready for environmental challenges like deadly lasers and tricky moving platforms, not to mention other surprising twists designed to test those adventurous enough to explore. According to ALLWARE, this is just the beginning of the thrills.
Carlos Alfonso of ALLWARE shares his excitement about the journey of developing COLD VR, mentioning how pivotal Perp Games has been in extending the game’s reach. “Bringing this unique experience where time itself is a gameplay element to a broader audience wouldn’t have been possible without their support. Thanks to Perp Games, we’re rolling COLD VR out on PSVR2 and Quest, turning a cherished dream into reality. I’m beyond thrilled for what the future holds!”
Right now, you can add COLD VR to your wishlist across different platforms. It’s priced at $19.99 / £14.99 / €19.99 and will be available on the Horizon Store for Quest 2/3/Pro, Steam for PC VR, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
