Returnal, a new PS5 exclusive from Housemarque, will debut in 2021 and we couldn't be more excited!
Revolving around a protagonist stuck in a loop that keeps her reliving her experiences, it looks to offer roguelike elements wrapped up in a glistening AAA outer shell.
Considering this is the studio that bought us modern arcade classics like Super Stardust, it's perhaps not surprising to see them offer finely-tuned shooter gameplay.

Who Are Housemarque?
Housemarque has arguably never made a bad game.

Resogun launched alongside the PS4, while Alienation, Nex Machina, and Matterfall all followed.
Returnal will be the studio's first PS5 game.
