Housemarque’s Returnal Has Gone Gold

Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Housemarque announced that the upcoming third-person roguelike Returnal has gone gold ahead of its April 30, 2021 launch date.

After crash-landing on this shape-shifting world, Selene must search through the barren landscape of an ancient civilization for her escape. Isolated and alone, she finds herself fighting tooth and nail for survival. Again and again, she’s defeated—forced to restart her journey every time she dies.

Through relentless roguelike gameplay, you’ll discover that just as the planet changes with every cycle, so do the items at your disposal. Every loop offers new combinations, forcing you to push your boundaries and approach combat with a different strategy each time.
