PS5: Returnal already has a release date; new trailer

The Housemarque title will squeeze all the unique features out of the PS5 hardware. It is one of the great exclusives of the console in 2021.

Returnal is getting closer. The new Housemarque, exclusive for PS5, will take advantage of all the technological benefits of Sony hardware; from 3D Audio to haptic feedback from the DualSense controller to deliver more precise sensations to users. Now, in a meeting with PlayStation Official Magazine, the development team has explained how they will use high-speed SSD (NVMe) memory to reduce load times almost completely.

The authors of Resogun and Dead Nation are abandoning the twin-stick shooter this time to enter their most ambitious project both in the playable and in the technical, guaranteeing that the deaths will translate into an instant revival.

The waiting is over and, therefore, it is hoped to reduce frustration. Being a title with a roguelite design, of high difficulty and where deaths follow one after another, being able to “mitigate frustration” through the well-known respawns in a matter of an instant will make the interest to continue trying increase. Each game in Returnal will be different, with a multitude of firearms and tools (which will take advantage of the adaptive triggers of the controller).
