A retailer listing took the wind out of the sails of this announcement, but it's always nice to have some confirmation. PlayStation 5 exclusive Returnal from Housemarque will indeed launch on 19th March 2021. Accompanying the reveal is a new trailer featuring a ton of gameplay, detailing how the roguelike plays. Looks pretty good, right? The opening couple of seconds also seem to suggest there'll be some first-person gameplay.
Are you hyped for Returnal? Try over and over again in the comments below.

Mark my words, Housemarque and Bluepoint games will be acquired by Sony eventually and probably sooner rather than later.
@GigaGaia Yeah Sony has to do something to slow down the company equivalent of Thanos (Microsoft).
Sony might lose the (Infinity) War, but they'll win in the Endgame.
Old lady shmup I guess?
Looks like a third person arcade ish shooter dark souls.
The fact I almost thought this was PT at first made my reaction to this "trailer" even more underwhelming.
Returnal is looking like a rent or buy on sale at best.
Looks cool.i can dig it.word up son
@LiterallyDoNotCare Yep the creature design and atmosphere is very Dark Souls. Looks proper next-gen too. Very excited for this one!
The greatness that is Housemarque will shine yet again. Hopefully the sales numbers follow this time.
Housemarque makes gameplay so tight the game will be fun yes or yes
Looks promising. However, I think charging $70 is going to scare a lot of people away, unfortunately.
Awesome. Disnt expect to see the release date.
Where is the first person gameplay you talk about though? I hope not haha
Looks good. I have faith in Sony for sure
@GigaGaia They're probably already in talks I'm sure.
Man I can't wait for this. I've said it before, but I will buy anything with a Housemarque logo on it. They are incredible.
I was about to get this day one but... 849 swedish kronor for the game (75.65£) or 949 swedish kronor (84.56£) for Digital Deluxe is too much.
Sony is going too far with their new prices here in Scandinavia.
I'm a person that bought every single Sony Studios games as day 1 during the PS4 gen.
That trend stops right here and now. Sony is too greedy at the moment and I know my lost sale isn't doing anything in this universe to change them, but it's the only thing I can do as a consumer, boycott ridiculous prices for games.
6 new games in Sweden equals a brand new PS5 with 4K drive.
That's insane and disturbing at the same time to be honest.
The environment and creature design looks really good, I like this horror setting, and the shooting seems great 😃
@RBMango Yeah $70 is a bit too much but fortunately sony games usually discounted pretty quickly.
Much better reveal than the initial impression of 'Gender-Studies-Teacher-in-Space-Sim'. Looks great!
Looks great, getting real Control meets Alien vibes!
@Zeke68 yeah you're right but don't forget Sony makes money on games and services like ps plus not on consoles. The console itself is ridiculously cheap compared to other high end tech product they don't have much profit on it. They aim to sell as many consoles as they can to maximise the profit on selling games on higher price. Next gen games won't be cheaper but the quality will be much better by the end.
the 2nd best news last night imo. I want this game... it looks great!
first best news last night.... the callisto protocol announcement! o ya!
@Tatarimokke
True that. But I still don't want to pay a game with an arm and a leg.
@Zeke68 i Know. I don't want either but i'm afraid i will..😉
Hi there fellow gamers. A really nice surprise and personal highlight from the show last night.
Returnal looks so flashy and cool and, most of all, super fun.
Housemarque has done it again.
Can´t wait for next year 19th March.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
So with time to look over Everything i cant see paying $70 for this the game looks cool all but why pay $70 for some of sony's exclusives when you can pay $49.99 for Gamepass Ultimate for Xbox and PC and get games like Halo infinite, Fable, Perfect Dark, Microsoft Flight Sim, The Medium, Forza Motorspoort all "free" (when they launch) and lets not forget future Bethesda games. Sony needs to retink the $70 price point
@Gaming365247 The problem is the amount of times you will need to pay $49.99 to continue to play them months or years later.
@Broosh I think she looks awsome something fresh/different for a change.
I always cringe when i look at CSI and see a photomodel in her late 20's with perfect hair after a nightshift in brutal murdercase. Or even more funny when they try too make it look real with a smudge of dirt on the perfect make-up. 🤪
Thats why i love the English detective series real people with real life problems. I think we can use more real life characters in games. Its probablynot going too be a photomodel that will find a new planet.
@Gaming365247 The gamepass will be the end of quality gaming if that will be the norm or the beginning of a monopoly where in the end they can charge you what they want.
@Flaming_Kaiser Yeah it's definitely a different take for a lead, more believable than TV supermodels like you said. Nothing against this game but personally hasn't appealed to me yet, at least not for $70 lol
@Broosh I really loved this game from the start so i hope its great the gameplay looks epic and so does the world en setting so i hope too play it as soon as i can.
I'm still highly interested in this game, loved what I saw of the Alien franchise and whenever it's mentioned via easter eggs/references/cameos in other media.
