Spiritual Successor to ‘Superhot,’ ‘Action Hero,’ Introduces New Level and Mode in Latest Update

Today, Fast Travel Games has unveiled a tantalizing update for Action Hero (2024), their popular VR shooter, which draws inspiration from the acclaimed Superhot series. This latest installment introduces an eerie new level alongside an engaging arcade game mode.

This update, which players can snag for free, brings the chilling ‘Cult of Darkness’ level to life on all supported Quest headsets, starting from the Quest 2. Meanwhile, the all-new arcade game mode is exclusively designed for Quest 3 and 3S users. Players venturing into the Cult of Darkness level will find themselves battling through a terrifying mission filled with fresh adversaries like zombies and an array of brand-new weapons. It’s shaping up to be a spine-tingling adventure, according to Fast Travel.

For those with access to Quest 3, the Arcade game mode offers a chance to ramp up the excitement as players aim for high scores across the game’s various levels. Fast Travel assures us that these levels have undergone enhancements, particularly in visual effects and user interface.

Here’s a snapshot of the exciting new aspects that have arrived as part of today’s update:

6 Core Movies & 6 Director’s Cuts: Dive into a kaleidoscope of modern action narratives. From infiltrating enemy bases for electrifying heists to unraveling the mysteries of ancient ruins, each movie takes you on a different genre journey. For those seeking more, the Director’s Cut versions present each level with a fresh twist, offering challenging and eccentric scenarios to conquer.

Comfortable, Cinematic Design: Action Hero focuses on immersion with stationary combat, allowing players to emphasize physical actions over button mashing. The inclusion of slow-motion engagements means you can tackle foes with stylish, deliberate flair.

Weekly Shot Challenge & Other Features: Hone your skills to achieve top scores or scour for hidden collectibles. If you’re after a more laid-back experience, the Relaxed Mode provides just that. The Weekly Shot Challenge spices things up by combining four random acts into a single movie, challenging players to compete for high scores.

Since its exclusive December launch on the Quest platform, Action Hero has been offering exhilarating gunfights reminiscent of iconic movie genres, all punctuated by breath-taking slow-motion sequences. Priced affordably at $20, it has made quite an impression on the Horizon Store, earning a commendable 4.7 out of 5 rating from around 150 reviewers.
