No DLC or anything like that – third anniversary comic

As teased yesterday, Housemarque made an announcement today on the third anniversary of “Returnal.” One thing first: This is not a DLC or even a successor.

“Returnal” is a roguelite shooter with a science fiction setting.

Three years ago today, “Returnal” was released for PS5. To celebrate the anniversary with you, Housemarque has thought of a little something for you teased yesterday became.

Fans have been speculating over the past 24 hours and were of course hoping for new game content for “Returnal”. Some even believed that a successor would be announced, which was unlikely outside of a PlayStation Showcase anyway. In addition, the studio made long time ago It is clear that we will only be able to deliver a successor after the next new brand.

Now it is clear: Housemarque has neither prepared a DLC nor a content update for the third anniversary. Instead, the Finnish development studio has presented a graphic novel that will contain 88 pages. The paperback will hit bookstores on October 22nd this year, followed by comic shops a day later.

The developers uploaded an animated version of this to YouTube today:

An art book will also be published

There is also talk of an art book. However, it is currently not known when it will come onto the market.

In any case, there are some disappointed users in the comments who would have liked to see a download extension. It is now rather unlikely that the roguelite shooter will be expanded to include new content in the future. There hasn't been an update for a while and the team has been busy developing the next project for a while.

“Returnal” still costs 79.99 euros in the PS Store. However, if you have subscribed to PS Plus Extra, you can access the title via the game library. You can also get the physical version for only 29.99 euros.
