SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE mind be on the minds of many gamers around the world (thanks to its July 16 release date), but VR gamers will have to wait a bit longer before seeing something new from the studio. MIND CONTROL DELETE, a brand new third game in the SUPERHOT universe, adds in more story, more trademark slow-motion gameplay, and surprising ways to eliminate your foes using only your movements as the way to control time.
While the titles may not clue you in, SUPERHOT, SUPERHOT VR, and SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE are three completely different games all set in the same universe. MIND CONTROL DELETEwas announcedat the tail-end of 2017 and has seen a significant number of revamps and changes since the original Early Access release, resulting in a very different game from what it started out as. Given the massive difference between just this title and SUPERHOT VR, the developers say they’ll need a bit more time before anything new in the VR space surfaces.
