[FingerBang]

[PanzerCute]

I knew it was Housemarque. Day one!

 

[Duchess]

Returnal 2.

 

[RagnarokIV]

basically the same game again. yawn

 

[Sebastian1295]

This is going to kick so much ass. An evolution of returnal!!! Hell ya.

 

[Kerotan]

I'll get it Day 1 based off returnal

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Kill me, bring me back, do it again

FOREVER

 

[PSlayer]

Some King in Yellow vibes... i like it.

 

[BoxFresh123]

 

[a'la mode]

Hell yeah, Housemarque delivering the goods

 

[Sooner]

Wow. We actually are getting what is basically Returnal 2. Fuck yes.

 

[Hugare]

Returnal in all but name

Great. Returnal was amazing.

Hopefuly they will create something as inspired as Returnal

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hell yeah! Wish it was releasing this year though.

 

[envyzeal]

Yesssssssssssssss thank you Housemarque

 

[Chittagong]

Looks incredible. Finland wins Eurovision and PlayStation once again

 

[Sebastian1295]

basically the same game again. yawn

Not what they said at all. And people loved returnal because it kicked ass.

 

[Vlodril]

Day 1. Returnal was phenomenal. Housemarque are great.

 

[Dacvak]

In other words, PS5 literally has NOTHING until 2026.

This game sounds great, but what a horrible State of Play.

 

[SpokkX]

Finally a Sony game to look forward too. Returnal is BY FAR the best PS5 exclusive game - this looks like a spritial successor

High hopes here

(oh and Sony will probaly have a bad 2025 i guess?)

 

[clarky]

Returnal 2 basically, im in I really enjoyed that game but minus points for no gameplay

 

[evanft]

God fucking dammit. The worst part of Returnal was the roguelike elements. Looks like they're leaning into that instead of just making a normal game.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Housemarque helping carrying the PS5 generation... After Returnal no doubt I'm in.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Saros, Aka Returnal 2!

All they had to say was building on the gameplay of Returnal and my GotY for 2026 is probably locked up.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

hype approved

 

[XXL]

Housemarque?

 

[Perrott]

nial good to have confirmation that this is this, which leaked a few years back:

Third-person action, male lead, an eclipse in the background, weird alien race, European dev... same backpack even!

 

[Mozzarella]

Returnal was great so im excited for this, but they didn't show much except the name, and i assume its also a roguelike. Would be cooler if it apes Metroid me thinks but roguelike is fine by me.

 

[clarky]

In other words, PS5 literally has NOTHING until 2026.

This game sounds great, but what a horrible State of Play.

Marathon has to be this year. That might not flot your boat but im eager to see more at least.

 

[tTHANOSs]

This is how you design a main character. Take notes Neil Druckmann

 

[Griffon]

Going from an ugly female protag to an ugly male protag.

They learn slowly don't they...

 

[Bartski]

literally Returnal 2 omg HYPE this is gonna be amazing

 

[ByWatterson]

Holy shit I called it

Re-two-rnal 2: Back 2 the Start

Guaranteed

 

[Spitfire098]

 

[lughnasadh123]

Not really loving another possible rogue-lite, but...fuck it. Housemarque delivered on Returnal so much they've got me with whatever they want to work on.

 

[mili2110]

OH MY FUXKING GOD RETURNAL 2 LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

DUALSENSE MY HANDS AGAIN!!

 

[Sebastian1295]

Going from an ugly female protag to an ugly male protag.

They learn slowly don't they...

A well built man with muscles is ugly now?? And selene was never ugly, she's just an older woman man.

 

[viveks86]

Saved the show for me. So pumped to see Rahul

You may need to look up the definition of the word "literally".

 

[Aion002]

basically the same game again. yawn

Aren't you hyped about having to do the same stage over and over again, until you can finally defeat a boss. Also, if you die later or turn off the console, you will have to do everything again, because fuck the player.

I hated Returnal so much.

 

[Dacvak]

You may need to look up the definition of the word "literally".

While I'm there, I'll DM you the definition of "hyperbole"

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

The Devs of this deliver good fun games. Returnal is a fantastic game that excel with excellent gameplay. Shame people wrote it off because they didn't like the character design.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Always love when my video game trailers have "not actual gameplay" plastered on them.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Returnal is in my Top 5 so I'll buy Totally Not Returnal 2 blindly of course. Still a fucking bummer that Selene is out. That voice actress was amazing.

 

[Spukc]

I really hope they will keep the quality going to the end. Unlike the first one

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Wish they had gone with a traditional gameplay structure over a roguelite, but I'll take it

 

[SkylineRKR]

This was one of the best announcements. It builds on Returnal which is my fave PS5 exclusive. This will be good.

 

[Thief1987]

Naffing!
I don't know I'm buying Trails through daybreak 2 tomorrow. Maybe you should, you know, try to open ps store, they are selling there games beside the first party ones, honestly

 

[Fbh]

Looks cool I guess but I'm a bit disappointed it's another Roguelite.
Really enjoyed the gameplay and visuals in Returnal, but the Roguelite element was pretty bad IMO. Would have preffered to get that sort of gameplay in a more linear DOOM style game.

I hope they've at least improved the Roguelite mechanics this time around.
