A new chapter in the virtual reality world is about to unfold with the upcoming launch of COLD VR, a spiritual successor to the iconic SUPERHOT VR that captivated gamers back in 2016. Fans of the original can mark their calendars for next month when COLD VR will hit Quest and PC VR headsets, with a PSVR 2 version joining the lineup a bit later.
SUPERHOT VR might be a classic, but its innovative time-stopping mechanics remain unmatched in the gaming world. Few developers have dared to explore this unique style, yet COLD VR takes this concept and turns it on its head. Instead of slowing down time as in its predecessor, it challenges players with a twist: slowing your movements speeds up time—and with it, the formidable enemy AI. Think slowly, and you’ll find yourself overwhelmed.
Recently, ALLWARE dropped an exciting new trailer, revealing their collaboration with Perp Games to bring COLD VR to eager fans. Mark January 21st, 2025 on your calendars because that’s when the game will be accessible on Quest and PC VR platforms. Although the PSVR 2 version has a less specific launch date, it’s definitely on the horizon.
COLD VR doesn’t just stop at creative gameplay. It promises to push the envelope with complex enemy AI and innovative obstacles like perilous lasers and shifting platforms, making for an engrossing and challenging environment, according to ALLWARE.
Carlos Alfonso from ALLWARE expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Developing COLD VR has been an incredible journey. The support from Perp Games has been a game-changer, allowing me to share this unique time-bending experience with more players than I ever thought possible. With their help, bringing COLD VR to platforms like PSVR2 and Quest has turned into a reality. I’m thrilled for what the future holds!”
For those interested in diving into this new VR experience, COLD VR is now available for pre-order. It’s priced at $19.99 / £14.99 / €19.99 and can be found across several platforms: the Horizon Store for Quest 2/3/Pro, Steam for PC VR headsets, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
