Returnal delayed to late April

Housemarque’s next game hits a snag

Returnal, the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive from Housemarque and SIE, is getting its launch date pushed back. Originally scheduled for March 19, 2021, the time-looping action adventure will be time traveling to April 30th.

Update: Returnal has a new release date of April 30, 2021.

SIE and Housemarque have made the decision to move the release date in order to give the team extra time to continue to polish the game to the level of quality players expect from Housemarque. See you in April! pic.twitter.com/KaE0hL8S4E

While not a long delay, it certainly follows the trend we’ve been seeing for nearly a year now, which has impacted all aspects of the entertainment industry. As bad as 2020 was, 2021 is already looking just as weird.
