We're all of course enjoying the PlayStation 5 and its slate of launch games, but there's plenty to look forward to in the near future. One game that's worth keeping an eye on is Returnal, a PS5 arcade action game from Resogun studio Housemarque. We've only really seen a CG trailer so far, but given the developer's back catalogue, there's every reason to be excited.
In a new video diary series named HouseCast, it seems the team will be providing some small updates on development as we go forward. The first episode goes over their thoughts on previous PlayStation launches before discussing the future. Towards the end of the video, we get to see some brand new footage of Returnal in action. While it's only a few seconds of gameplay, it looks typically explosive, with exaggerated visual effects and plenty of particles.
In case you're unaware, the game is a roguelike third person shooter in which a woman faces off against a hostile, ever-changing alien world. It's due out sometime within the first half of next year, so it's not too far away now.
Are you looking forward to Returnal on PS5? Shoot down to the comments section below.

Really looking forward to this game!
Sony will acquire Bluepoint after they delivered on big hit "Demon's Souls" and I suspect they will also be scooping up Housemarque if "Returnal" proves to be a great game and can be a new Playstation Studios IP.
Looks dope guys, very exciting!
Super amazing! This is gonna be one of my instant picks when I get my PS5 one day lol.
@Mafia_Man19 I hope so
cannot wait for the game to come out loved Super Stardust HD & Resogun.
This almost seems like a 3rd person bullet-hell. I need to see more. Also want to know more about the story.
Definitely can't wait for this, rumour has it Sony are buying Bluepoint, hopefully House marque will be on the cards as well.
Super excited for it but also thinking that it could possibly not have a story and is just some challenge game,which would suck.For now it looks amazing with similar to Mass Effect art and combat.
@Mafia_Man19 Echo that for sure. Sony should scoop them up. I think Returnal will launch Housemarque into a well known status for the gaming audience new and old. I personally have not heard of them until this game was announced. Same went for Remedy and for Asobo Studios with their latest works. This game is on my list to buy no question. It looks great! Can't wait.
@Samba3 Time will tell, but I don't know. I think this could have a fantastic story with many twists along the way.
Love Housemarque games. They have shown plenty of gameplay and the cutscenes are in game graphics not CG as far as I can tell.
Hi there fellow gamers. Super excited for this game. Housemarque has given us some awesome games and this one looks a lot of fun, just like the other games.
And those particle effects..... So good.
Cheers, stay safe out there and happy next gen gaming to us all
@Athrum it is bullet hell. Devs have experience in that genre.
Let it be known.
WE ARENT THE RESOGUN GUYS ANYMORE!!
i wish these guys would go multi-format and create their own IP's rather than always making [very good] games for sony.
more gamers need to play epic titles like Super Stardust HD and RESOGUN
Wish Returnal was a launch title would of been playing now. Hopefully will arrive early in the new year. Along with Ratchet.
