‘Action Hero,’ the Spiritual Successor to ‘SUPERHOT,’ Set to Launch on Quest Next Month

In an exciting development, Fast Travel Games, a well-established name in the VR industry, has just unveiled their latest VR shooter, Action Hero, slated for release on the Quest platform next month. Reminiscent of the acclaimed Superhot and Superhot VR, this game cleverly adopts the unique time-manipulating mechanics: time moves only when you do, allowing players to meticulously choreograph action-packed sequences as if they were channeling an inner John Wick.

Dropping on December 12th for Quest 2 and higher, Action Hero offers a twist by casting you as the leading actor across five unique ‘movies,’ each embracing a different cinematic genre. Fast Travel Games promises an engaging journey through these films, consisting of four acts with five scenes each. To progress, players need to strategically dispatch enemies and navigate obstacles, all in elegant slow-motion. But don’t get too comfortable—if you take a hit, you’ll find yourself restarting the act from scratch. Precision and quick thinking are your best allies here.

The studio has teased a range of movie inspirations that fans can expect, including a thrilling heist adventure, a treasure-hunting expedition reminiscent of Indiana Jones, a cyborg-themed escapade, and a ninja-centric saga—which, if you caught the latest trailer, looks particularly enticing.

Apart from dispatching adversaries, Action Hero spices things up with boss battles and distinct weapons tailored to each film setting. And for those seeking an extra challenge, there are five ‘Director’s Cuts’ on offer. These versions of the levels come with heightened difficulty and unexpected twists, promising new experiences for seasoned players.

Available exclusively on Quest 2 and higher, Action Hero will be priced at $20. For those eager to get in on the action, you can add it to your wishlist on the Horizon Store now.
