New Trailer Announces Release Date for ‘COLD VR,’ the Spiritual Successor to ‘SUPERHOT’

The eagerly anticipated COLD VR, which serves as a spiritual successor to the timeless classic SUPERHOT VR of 2016, is gearing up for its release on Quest and PC VR headsets next month, with the PSVR 2 version planned for a later date.

SUPERHOT VR, despite its age, remains a cherished gem in the gaming community, celebrated for its innovative time manipulation mechanics. It’s surprising that more studios haven’t attempted to emulate this intriguing gameplay element.

COLD VR, however, is daring enough to venture into this territory with a unique twist: it alters the dynamic by having you speed up rather than slow down during crucial moments. In this game, slowing down accelerates time and intensifies the challenge posed by the relentless enemy AI. If you hesitate too long in strategizing your next move, you’ll likely find yourself quickly overwhelmed.

The game’s developer, ALLWARE, has just unveiled a trailer announcing their collaboration with publisher Perp Games to bring COLD VR to Quest and PC VR headsets on January 21st, 2025. For those awaiting the PSVR 2 version, the studio assures fans it will follow “at a later date.”

COLD VR is set to deliver not only increasingly intelligent enemy AIs but also environmental challenges like deadly lasers and moving platforms. Adventure seekers can expect a plethora of surprises as they navigate the game’s world, according to ALLWARE.

Carlos Alfonso of ALLWARE shared his excitement, saying, “Working on COLD VR has been an incredible journey. Collaborating with Perp Games has been instrumental in creating a unique experience where controlling time becomes central to gameplay. Their support has been crucial in making this game accessible to many more players than I ever anticipated. Thanks to Perp Games, COLD VR will soon be available on PSVR2 and Quest, reaching a broader audience. I can’t wait to see what comes next!”

Eager players can already wishlist COLD VR across all platforms, with the game launching at a price of $19.99, £14.99, or €19.99. It will be available on the Horizon Store for Quest 2/3/Pro, Steam for PC VR headsets, and the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2.
