Is the PS5 studio’s latest tweet a disappointment for the PlayStation community?

Game news “I think this tweet just killed the entire PlayStation community” Could this PS5 studio have overhyped the upcoming announcement?

While the video game news is not the most lively, the publication of the Housemarque studio on X (Twitter), this April 29, woke everyone up with a start. This is'a black and white artowrk with a single word written in yellow: tomorrow. No need to look for noon to two p.m., the team is about to announce something, and everything suggests that it concerns Returnal. Yes, the look of the character shown here immediately recalls that of Selene – the heroine of the action / rogue-lite game released in 2021 on PS5 (and since on PC). In addition, the color and typography of the single word written uses the codes of this same title! What could the Finnish company have in store for us?

Towards a Returnal 2?

Obviously, Returnal fans were quick to react… “It’s time to be hyped!”, writes for example an Internet user on X, while another imagines an episode reserved for PSVR 2, the reality headset Virtual PlayStation. The date of the announcement, April 30, 2024, is all the more important: Today, it's been three years since Returnal was released on PS5. And three years still leaves a lot of time to start production on a new episode, right? At the time, the title revealed itself as one of the most promising Sony exclusives, thanks to its super effective gameplay and its universe close to the work of Hans Giger (Alien). On Metacritic, it gets a very good 86/100.

A smaller announcement than expected

But, obviously, Housemarque's announcement is smaller than expected… We want a fairly evocative clue as proof! On Obviously, Selene's adventures will continue on paper, which did not fail to disappoint Returnal fans. “I think this post has just killed the entire PlayStation community”, writes one Internet user, on Everything should be revealed over the next few hours.
