Although somewhat overshadowed due to the lack of availability of the PlayStation 5 and its status as a next-gen exclusive, Returnal remains one of the big selling points for Sony's new machine and it's set to receive the very awaited porting on PC in order to reach a greater number of players.
What if Returnal lands on Steam soon?
Returnal was released for PS5 in April 2021 and is Finnish studio Housemarque's biggest and most ambitious project , after decades of arcade-style 2D shooters. A few weeks later, Housemarque was acquired by Sony and there were concerns about a potential release of Returnal on PC and other consoles. The same year, a huge data leak from the GeForce Now database (Nvidia ) listed this famous PC version. If this list revealed many release dates of great games to come, its veracity remains to be confirmed.
Anyway, in May 2022, steamDB registered the presence of a new product in Valve's platform database . Code name ? Oregon. If this word means nothing to you, several other clues clearly indicate that this is a port of Returnal on PC. An entry that continues to receive regular updates, leading us to believe that an announcement is imminent.
The most recent update dates back to last Thursday with the addition of new localizations: 19 new languages have been added . These localizations include phrases such as "Atropos", "Tower of Sisyphus", "In Helios", and "Returning", which makes the identity of the game clear.
An extension for Returnal
With this PC version which will arrive soon, new players will be able to enjoy the basic game but also its extension called Ascension. New biomes and weapons as well as the Sisyphus Tower which will offer you different phases whose difficulty will increase as you go up the floors, are the main novelties of this update.
After months without news, the long-awaited reboot of the Fable franchise is finally being talked about.
