Returnal is the stunning action game from Finnish developer Housemarque, exclusive to PlayStation 5.

After crash-landing on this shape-shifting planet, Selene must find a way out of the lifeless landscape of an ancient civilization. Alone and isolated, she must fight tooth and nail to survive. Time and again, she faces defeat – and must start her journey over. With a ruthless roguelike gameplay, the items at your disposal change, just as the planet changes with each loop. Every loop offers new combinations and forces you to push your limits and approach combat with a different strategy each time.

The dark beauty of the decaying world brought to life by dazzling visual effects is full of explosive surprises—from deadly bullet hell to twists that twist the insides of various harsh environments. Explore, discover, and fight on a merciless journey where mysteries shadow every move you make. Designed for extreme replayability, Returnal’s procedurally generated world invites you to shake off the dust of defeat and face new, ever-changing challenges with each rebirth.
