Break the cycle of chaos in Returnal on PS5, the award-winning third-person roguelike shooter from Housemarque. Step into the suit of ASTRA scout Selene as she crash-lands on Atropos, a shape-shifting alien world where every death sends you back to the beginning of a haunting, ever-evolving loop.

Relentless Roguelike Action

Experience a unique blend of bullet hell intensity and deep psychological horror. As you explore the ruins of an ancient civilization, the planet reshapes itself with every rebirth, forcing you to adapt your strategy, manage scarce resources, and master alien technology to survive.

• Procedural Worlds: Explore six distinct biomes, from arid deserts to frozen wastes, each with its own living ecosystem and unique extraterrestrial threats.

• High-Stakes Combat: Engage in fast-paced, third-person shooting where you must dodge geometric patterns of enemy projectiles while managing an Adrenaline meter for powerful buffs.

• Vast Weapon Customization: Scavenge for high-tech weapons like the Electropylon Driver or Hollowseeker, each with unique unlockable traits that persist across cycles.

• Permanent Progression: While most items reset upon death, you retain key story items and permanent traversal tools like the grappling hook and melee blade.

• Tower of Sisyphus: Test your skills in an endless, escalating challenge mode designed for pure arcade-style combat and high-score chasing.

• Online Co-op: Join forces with another player in a branching timeline to tackle the hostile labyrinth of Atropos together.
