The much-anticipated COLD VR, considered a spiritual successor to the acclaimed SUPERHOT VR from 2016, is making its way to Quest and PC VR headsets next month. For those eager to experience it on PSVR 2, you’ll need to hold tight a bit longer, as its release on that platform will follow later.
SUPERHOT VR has always occupied a special place in gamers’ hearts, primarily due to its innovative time-stopping mechanics. It’s surprising that more developers haven’t ventured to emulate its success. Enter COLD VR, which steps up to the plate with an intriguing twist: instead of slowing down time, this game ramps it up. In COLD VR, the slower you move, the faster time and the unrelenting enemy AI advance. If you spend too much time pondering your next move, you’ll find yourself in a world of trouble.
Developer ALLWARE recently dropped a new trailer, unveiling their partnership with publisher Perp Games. Together, they’ll be launching COLD VR on Quest and PC VR headsets come January 21, 2025. As for PSVR 2 users, the release is promised “at a later date,” according to the studios.
But that’s just the beginning. Players can look forward to not just battling increasingly cunning AI, but also navigating environmental hazards like perilous lasers, mobile platforms, and other surprises that challenge the brave, as ALLWARE hints.
Carlos Alfonso from ALLWARE shared his excitement, saying, “Developing COLD VR has been an incredible journey. With Perp Games’ amazing support, I’m thrilled to introduce players to a truly unique experience where time itself becomes a gameplay mechanic. Their help has been invaluable in bringing the game to a broader audience. Thanks to Perp, COLD VR will be available on PSVR2 and Quest. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead!”
If you’re eager to dive into this unique VR adventure, you can add COLD VR to your wishlist across all platforms today. 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 headsets, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
