It was expected for March 19, 2021, but Returnal is ultimately going to need some extra time to make its release on PS5 as optimal as possible. This is indeed what the PlayStation Twitter account tells us, which reveals the new release date of the game, now set for April 30. The official reasons are the need to polish the game, which is by far the most ambitious of the studio Housemarque so far to develop small indie games. With Returnal, we switch to more intense production, since it is a third person action game with high replayability. The last video of the game also explained to us all the gameplay possibilities offered by the weapons that we will be able to develop throughout the adventure. We wait, we wait …
Update: Returnal has a new release date of April 30, 2021. SIE and Housemarque have made the decision to move the release date in order to give the team extra time to continue to polish the game to the level of quality players expect from Housemarque.
