Returnal release date set for March 2021

Get ready.

The Returnal release date was set for 19 March 2021, Housemarque and Sony confirmed during last week’s The Game Awards.

“In Returnal, players get to dive deep into the mind of Selene, an Astra space scout trapped in a hellish loop of endless resurrection while trapped on a hostile planet,” Sony said of the upcoming title.

“The roguelike formula mixed with exploration platformer elements allow for a unique way to explore the planet and continue the battle she is fighting. Of course, there will be plenty of Housemarque’s arcade flourishes present, so players should prepare to be bombarded by volleys of bullet-hell projectiles along the way.”

The title will support DualSense haptic feedback, with each weapon offering an alt-fire mod as well.
