Short delay hits PS5 exclusive
Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that Housemarque’s bullet-hell roguelikeReturnalwill not meet its March 19 release date, and will launch on PS5 on April 30.
In a brief message on Twitter, SIE noted the decision was made to push the interstellar adventure back in order to give the team “extra time to polish the game to the level of quality players expect from Housemarque.”Returnalalready looks pretty dang slick, but the short delay should at least give theResogundevs the opportunity to fine-tune its weird world.
Returnalwill tell the story a Selene, a space explorer who finds herself caught in a death-and-rebirth timeloop, alaEdge of Tomorrow. Players will guide our hero as she explores a beautiful but dangerous universe, using an arsenal ofridiculously powerful weaponryto press further forward with each demise, pressing closer and closer to the source of the planet’s chrono-conundrum.
Update: Returnal has a new release date of Jul 06, 2025. SIE and Housemarque have made the decision to move the release date to give the team extra time to continue to polish the game to the level of quality players expect from Housemarque.
See you in April!pic.twitter.com/xb6IBWJ5TQ
