#Returnal bosses update
Another aspect of the game as a roguelike title is its high difficulty level.Ī free update in March 2022 added multiplayer co-op and the Tower of Sisyphus, an infinite combat challenge in which Selene has to climb the titular tower, discovering additional memories and backstory information along the way. Returnal largely plays as a third-person version to Housemarque's previous titles such as Resogun and Nex Machina, while also placing increased emphasis on narrative and Worldbuilding. Gameplay focuses on fast-paced combat and evading multiple enemies with frequency for Bullet Hell as Selene has to conquer the various biomes of Atropos. Soon enough, however, she realizes that escaping Atropos won't be an easy task, and every death brings her back to the moment she crash-lands into the planet.

With her ship, Helios, sustaining critical damage, Selene is forced to explore the hostile environment of Atropos, using whatever equipment or weaponry she can find. Selene Vassos (voiced by Jane Perry) is a Greek-American space pilot who crashes into an alien planet called Atropos, after trying to locate a mysterious signal she dubs "White Shadow".

It is most notably Housemarque's first AAA production. Returnal is a Roguelike Third-Person Shooter with Bullet Hell elements developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
