Prepare to guide a woman caught in a strange alien planet that restarts itself every time she dies, as Housemarque has released the Returnal launch trailer — which hypes up the PS5 time loop space adventure that hits the next gen console this April 30.
Check out the trailer below — which describes time like a tide and why our main character Selene must find a way out of her predicament.
