And to increase the hype of the fans, an announcement trailer was released showing some action moves and the weapons used against the enemies in the game including a samurai sword, gun and the fists. In the video, it described the mechanics of the game as an "FPS game where time moves only when you move." FilmGamesETC noted that the phrase means that "careful timing and patience is often key."

For those who are not aware of the history of the game, "Superhot" started out as a game jam prototype. Apparently, it gained interest among gamers which led to the crowdfunding campaign in Kickstarter. The team then raised up the hype by introducing to the crowd pre-released copies and several "let's play" videos, which is where they also got invaluable feedback, as noted in Kickstarter. And after a long wait, the game is now set to fully debut as an official video game.
Fans can expect that there will be no regenerating health bars and conveniently positioned ammo drops. Players will be left in the game outnumbered and outgunned. They will need to take hold of weapons from the fallen enemies in order for them to shoot, slice and move skillfully through incoming bullets that are actually in slow-motion.
