Spiritual Successor of ‘Superhot,’ COLD VR, Receives Major Content Expansion with ‘SUB-ZERO’ Update Next Month

I’m staring at this announcement about COLD VR’s new updates, and I can’t shake a weird sense of excitement. Picture this: the developers, ALLWARE, along with Perp Games, have decided to throw a curveball at their Superhot-inspired game. And let me tell you, it’s like nothing you’ve played before—or maybe it is, but with a twist. Sorry, I’m rambling.

So, they’re calling it the COLD VR: SUB-ZERO Edition. I had to pause and wonder—does this mean it’s freezing cold or just cool like a glacier? No idea. Anyway, the game’s this wild spiritual successor where, unlike Superhot, moving doesn’t fast-forward time. Nope. What it does is slow everything down, right as you’re darting around, and honestly, it could make you feel like a superhero—or just completely overwhelmed. Maybe both?

Oh, I should mention this was launched in February, but the real buzz is about a June 2nd update. That means five new levels for Quest and PC VR. Five! Let that sink in.

And ALLWARE? They’ve got tricks up their sleeves—there’s a fresh main campaign coming with smarter AI (finally, right?). Oddly enough, they’re making those Backroom levels optional. Does this mean they were too much before? Maybe. I’m just guessing here.

Now, brace yourself for a revamped intro and Main Menu. Why does this matter? Imagine jumping into the action without all the faff. That’s their promise. Fingers crossed.

Sub-Zero’s packing more than just gameplay tweaks. New weapon-catching mechanics? It’s like they’re just tossing cool stuff at us to see what sticks—and I’m into it. Visuals are getting a glow-up, and room-scale movement support’s in the mix too. Plus, for those fancy enough to have bHaptics vests, there’s even more immersion headed your way. Oh, and for the PlayStation VR fans, patience is key; the PSVR 2 version is “soon-ish.” How vague can you get?

For now, if you’re itching to play—or replay—Cold VR, check out the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and above, or simply head to Steam. It’s 20 bucks—pretty fair—but hey, I’m not your budget planner.

Do with all this what you will. Just a chaotic download from my brain to yours.
