PS5 Exclusive Returnal Has Gone Gold, All Set For It's April Launch
/
Housemarque, who’s known for games like Matterfall and Resogun, has announced that their next game Returnal has gone gold and is all set for it’s April 30 release on the PS5.
The devs made the announcement via their Twitter account about the game’s gold status, thanking those involved in the process of making this rogue-like sci-fi PS5 exclusive.
In Returnal, you play as Selene, who finds herself crashing on an alien planet after investigating a strange signal. She will quickly learn that those who live in this planet is hostile and must fight her way to survive and hopefully wind a way out. The kicker? She’s stuck in a time loop as she is brought back to the moment she crashed once she has died. With it being a rogue-like, each run will be completely different from enemy times to the environment.
Housemarque is known to create fast-paced and satisfying gameplay and they are delivering just that in Returnal. What’s new coming from these developers is that this game is story-heavy and i’m curious to see how they will handle the storytelling for a roguelike game.
Returnal will also be one of the many current-gen titles that will cost $70 (~ PHP 3,300), $10 more than the current standard price for console titles. This isn’t a surprise as developers and publishers are slowly leaning towards this direction with games like NBA 2K, Demon’s Souls, and more priced at this range.
Returnal will be out on April 30 exclusively on the PS5.
Guilty Gear Strive is not only a miraculous 60fps port that makes the most minimal of sacrifices, keeping the 2021 masterpiece’s crisp animated effects and characters, but they managed to bring over every one of the game’s features to the aging Nintendo Switch with minimal loading times.
