Spiritual Successor to ‘Superhot,’ ‘COLD VR,’ Receives Major ‘SUB-ZERO’ Update Next Month

Sure thing. Here’s a reimagined piece, full of quirks and randomness:

Okay, so there’s this game, COLD VR. It’s like, getting a makeover or I guess, more like a blowout update? ALLWARE, these folks who cooked it up, teamed up with Perp Games, and now we’ve got this beast called COLD VR: SUB-ZERO Edition rolling out next month. I heard about it and thought, “Yeah, okay, maybe I’ll give it a whirl.”

If you’ve played Superhot VR, well, COLD VR is like its long-lost, sort of rebellious cousin. There’s time-twisting stuff going on, but it’s all flipped. Like when you zoom around, time slows. Yeah, I know, my brain went, “Say what?” But you gotta be on your toes—move fast or those enemies will eat you alive. Not literally, but you get me.

So, quick flashback: COLD VR showed up in February. Now it’s getting this hefty beef-up on June 2nd. They’re dropping five new levels for both Quest and PC VR versions. Five! Not four, not six. Don’t ask me why.

Also, they’re jazzing up the main campaign. Enemy AI’s getting a brain boost, because why not? Those Backroom levels are gonna become optional too. Optional’s good; choices are nice.

Oh, and the intro and menu are getting a makeover. All the bells and whistles to let you dive in quicker. I’m all for fast starts—more game, less fiddle.

Plus, there’s this fancy weapon-catching thing, and the visuals… BAM! Spruced up like that one time I tried to repaint the kitchen. More support too, like room-scale movement. If that doesn’t ring a bell, just imagine moving around without tripping over stuff—safer on all counts. Plus, there’s bHaptics vests support. Feel the game, literally.

PSVR 2 version is still out there on the horizon. The wait continues, folks. The suspense is kind of thrilling, right?

For now, COLD VR’s hanging out at the Horizon Store if you’ve got a Quest 2 or better, and on Steam for PC VR. Twenty bucks is what’ll set you back. Worth it? Maybe. Time to check it out? Up to you.
