ABOUT
THE GAME
Returnal is a
third-person shooter game developed by Housemarque
and published by Sony Interactive
Entertainment. Set in a futuristic science fiction setting, the player controls
Selene, the protagonist who is a space pilot, equipped with a suit and armed
with high-tech weapons, she is stranded on the alien planet Atropos and stuck
in a time loop. After every death, Selene is resurrected, following a pattern
of traversing across foreign environments and combating extraterrestrial
entities with growing visions in an ever-changing world.
GAMEPLAY
The game will take advantage of
the Playstation 5’s Dual Sense controller and Engine to support advanced
feedback, 3D spatial audio and real-time ray tracing effects thus enhancing the
players experience on a 4K resolution.
After crash-landing on a
shape-shifting world, Selene must search through the barren landscape of an
ancient civilization for her escape. Isolated and alone, she finds herself
fighting tooth and nail for survival. Again and again, she’s defeated – forced
to restart her journey every time she dies.
Through relentless roguelike
gameplay, you’ll discover that just as the planet changes with every cycle, so
do the items at your disposal. Every loop offers new combinations, forcing you
to push your boundaries and approach combat with a different strategy each time
from high stakes, bullet hell-fueled combats, to visceral twists and turns
through stark and contrasting environments.
Gameplay elements such as
exploration, combat, and collecting powerups are key components that will help
players discover and understand the story better, including the history of the
alien planet, the ancient civilization that once resided there, and the truth
about the time loop.
