Tomorrow, April 30th, 2024, will commemorate the three-year milestone since Returnal made its debut on the PS5. That’s likely sufficient time for the developer to unveil a new game, but typically, such an announcement is reserved for major occasions, such as a PlayStation Showcase. Given the significance of tomorrow’s date, it seems that the news might be related to a development documentary, much like Naughty Dog’s approach with The Last of Us games.
Released in 2021, Returnal stands out as one of the standout titles of the PS5 generation. Its fast-paced, rogue-like gameplay loop is sure to please fans of Housemarque. In our review of Returnal for the PS5, we gave the game a 9/10 rating and concluded that it truly showcases the console’s impressive features, elevating the overall gaming experience.
As we delved further into the game, it became evident that it was a true standout. The intense combat, seamless gameplay, and intriguing narrative all come together to create an incredibly immersive experience. The game was eventually brought over to PC and was given a free Ascension update that introduced co-op features.
Regardless, we will provide you with updates on what Housemarque has in store for you on our website tomorrow. What could the developer possibly be hinting at? Feel free to share your prediction in the comments below.
