Selene crashes her ship on the mysterious-and dangerous-planet of Atropos, and every time she dies, she is returned to the crash site. For more gaming news, keep your eyes on GameLuster.Returnal’s core conceit is about breaking the cycle. Will you be playing Returnal on PC? What other PlayStation titles are you waiting for? Don’t be shy, you can say Bloodborne. At this point it seems all but certain that Returnal will eventually end up on PC. Sony has been openly embracing the PC as a platform to publish their first party PlayStation titles, even going so far as potentially considering an integration of PlayStation Network as we reported earlier. Sony is no stranger to porting their games to PC, such as last month’s Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Finally, it was also featured in the famous Nvidia GeForce Now leaks, which is increasingly proving itself to be a legitimate source of future game reveals.

If that wasn’t convincing enough, there’s also localisation strings listed in the files as reported by VGC, like the undeniably Returnal-related ‘Atropos’ and ‘Tower of Sisyphus’. That certainly sounds like Returnal to us. An entry on the Steam Database went live in May for a title named ‘Oregon’, a code name for a game with some interesting tags, including ‘single player’, ‘bullet hell’, ‘roguevania’, ‘female protagonist’ and ‘shooter’. This is not the first sign we’ve had of an upcoming Returnal PC release.

Returnal's presentation from GDC on its VFX and particle work is really cool – but I enjoy the bonus it has of once again confirming the PC version. The news was first noticed by Digital Foundry’s Alexander Battaglia on Twitter (thanks Alex). As the game runs, the output can be seen along the right side of the screen as “Output: SDR (PC)”, confirming the game is running a PC version. Sony featured Returnal at a Game Developers Conference presentation last week, and it may be holding a secret.
