Update 2: It looks like Sony's found the right button to push at last. The new Returnal trailer is back, and we've embedded the YouTube video above for your viewing pleasure. What a kerfuffle!
Update: Ah. It seems the video made it to the Internet a little earlier than planned, as it's just been pulled. We did suspect it was a leak when there wasn't any follow-up information on PlayStation Blog. If and when the video makes its return to the web, we'll be sure to update this article once again. Whoops!
Original Story: Returnal just keeps on looking better and better. In this new gameplay trailer, discovered on Vimeo rather than YouTube, we get a view on a handful of the enemies Selene will be fending off in this arcadey third person shooter.
As always, the action is looking super slick, and the tentacled hostiles are stylish and creepy. We particularly like the Infected Scout, which sees one of Selene's previous corpses reanimated with a mass of tentacles lurching it forward. It's horribly cool. There's also a glimpse at a boss fight against something called Ixion, which looks pretty intimidating with its spew of projectiles.
There's just a couple of weeks to go before we can explore the dangerous world of Atropos for ourselves. Are you excited for Returnal? Tell us in the comments section below.

Yassssss! I want it so bad. It reminds me so much of something we would have seen back in the PS1 days. MDK or something like that.
@velio84 Mirror https://streamable.com/36durx
I was able to watch the trailer before it got pulled and the game looks really good.
Video doesnโt work
Glad I didn't see it. I like to be surprised when a new game launches.
@velio84 It looks fantastic, for sure, but Iโm definitely hoping itโs NOT Dark Souls in space. That fear alone is what has prevented me from preordering, and waiting on reviews (which I really hope come before release). Hoping itโs a lot more accessible than that.
Really looking forward to this as there's not many PS5 exclusives at the moment that show off the consoles features.
Ok now i need a Ps5 asap time to start stalking websites again.
@AllDaSportsALLOFDEM
$70 still required eyeroll
I'm getting more and more interested in this game. Maybe I'll pick it up.
I'm curious but at the same time I'm not sure I wanna watch more footage before actually playing it
Updated! It's officially up on YouTube now.
Those enemies look really cool! Plays into my love of nightmarish imagery. This is hands down my favorite of these feature highlight videos for Returnal.
However, I'm still noticing some pretty big framerate drops when Selene dashes. I hope that's fixed before launch.
Does look rather good, although don't know if my reflexes will be able to keep up.
Hopefully the game is at least 30 hours (main and extras) to keep me busy until Ratchet game haha
Nice!... but now 100% sure I will suck at it ๐คฃ๐
With each trailer my interest grows more and more. This game is gonna look fantastic on the big screen!
Doesn't look $125AUD good...
Worth the $70.
Gotta support it or we will get stuff like uncharted and tlou remakes.
@LiterallyDoNotCare i'd gladly pay $70! America is the only place that is getting a good deal on games at the moment.
@AllDaSportsALLOFDEM Literally zero games require Game Pass
@everynowandben If this game were on gamepass, it would look like halo infinite's first showing.
@LiterallyDoNotCare Okay? That statement doesn't follow any type of logic that I'm aware of, and is also pessimistic for no reason.
@everynowandben I'm just trolling. Don't worry about it.
There are games like gears and forza. I think it's a 343 thing.
Just hook it to my veins!
Not really thought about it before but US gamers are getting a steal given currency conversion.
Assuming sales tax is in the region of 5 dollars, and this game costs $75 thats the equivalent of around ยฃ55 gbp.
So our ยฃ70 is the equivalent of around $96 US.
Thay's a huge price disparity. Doesn't seem right ๐คทโโ๏ธ unless i am massively off base
This is relevant because at ยฃ55 i would buy returnal at launch. But at ยฃ70, i am definitely waiting for a sale.
The game looks fantastic though and i am excited to see the reviews come out and see what people make of it.
Looking forward to this. Although it does look bloody hard lol. Definitely be picking it up day one the more I see the better it looks.
@AllDaSportsALLOFDEM Indeed
Iโm so ready for this game.
I really hope it has a good control scheme or full custom controls because if the jump and dash are not on the shoulder buttons this game is going to be a nightmare
@Rob_230 this is why i have an account stating i live in the USofA.
I'm currently resisting the urge to get it come release. On the one hand, I don't wanna support ยฃ70 gaming. On the other hand, I'd love something shiny and new to play.
Eagerly awaiting reviews.
Thereโs rumblings by insiders now claiming that Returnal is in fact very, very good. Hype levels are increasing and I have a feeling Housemarque are going to knock it out of the park critically with this one. It looks phenomenal.
@somnambulance I agree mate, I hope its not demon souls in space. Had Demon souls just couldn't get anywhere got totally fed up with it. Returnal looks amazing hope its more accessible and enjoyable.
Iโm really feeling this game but told myself itโll wait b/c RE Village is on the way. But now Iโm getting more hyped about Returnal.
Like others said, I really hope itโs not like Dark Souls in space (itโs be more like Bloodborne from the looks of the fast action). It will definitely be fast but I want it to be more fun than serious difficulty. Hopefully itโll be more arcade-y which seems to be Housemarqueโs shtick ๐
@Axelay71 @djdizzy Iโm totally down for a story-driven arcade-y experience. I want a fun challenge that sucks me in with the story. Really sort of craving that style of game to be honest.
Looking good, can't wait for this.
@Shepherd_Tallon MDK 1 and 2 are great ๐
@somnambulance agreed mate ๐
@wiiware They really are ๐
I am renting this from Gamefly. Looks good. But not worth the $70 price tag
I want this game only thing putting me off is the price tag. Especially if its a short game. If its as long as say bloodborne with ng+++++++++++ than I'm all for it.
After watching this trailer I am definitely hyped, but I shall still wait for Holiday 2021 sales.
Need to focus on my massive PS4 backlog first and foremost.
@somnambulance I fully agree. The story looks like a mind-bender. Hopefully it has enough focus on story to immerse us in the world ๐
