During a recent interview, a member of the Housemarque studio answered a question regarding the development of Returnal 2. Will the PS5 host a new episode or is it already over?
Is Housemarque done with Returnal, their PS5 roguelike that won Best Game at the 2022 BAFTA Games Awards? No announcement… but the door for Returnal 2 is clearly open.
Return 2 on PlayStation 5? Not impossible!
In an interview for VGC, Eevi Korhonen, Senior Narrative Designer at Housemarque, was asked about the future of intellectual property. Our colleagues wanted to know whether a Returnal 2 was possible or not. And here’s the answer, suggesting the studio won’t stop there…
I can’t talk too much about it (laughs). But I think it escaped the attention of the team members that we are working on a new license. Whether we pick up Selene’s story after that has yet to be decided.

It’s not a straight yes for Returnal 2, but it’s not a straight no either. Wait and see how the printout goes. And if you have not yet approached this excellent game, it is offered in the PS Plus Premium but it is also worth buying for its qualities.
What would a sequel look like?
Should there be a sequel, Housemarque would probably take over the two big news from the first installment. Two player online co-op and the Tower of Sisyphus. A mode that consistently turns to scoring.
Return is exclusive to PS5.
