Yesterday, Housemarque teased some sort of Returnal announcement for the sport’s third anniversary. It efficiently obtained individuals excited for a sequel or possibly an enlargement.
Effectively, it seems the announcement was for a graphic novel adaption courtesy of Darkish Horse, together with an artwork ebook and an animated adaption.
Returnal: Fallen Asteria will launch in paperback on October 22. For those who don’t need to wait, you possibly can really get it proper now free of charge, in animated type. It’s simply the primary problem, nevertheless it offers an honest take a look at what we will count on from the complete graphic novel.
“Selene should battle for her life towards horrific hostiles that stay past each shadow and a path of distorted recollections.” reads the official blurb. “Thriller shrouds the world of Atropos, and Selene begins to surprise: will she discover the reply on the finish of her journey, or is that this nightmare inescapable?”
It looks as if the ebook might add some new lore to Returnal as nicely. In an announcement, artistic director Gregory Louden stated: “Returnal: Fallen Asteria is our daring extension of Returnal with a brand new story following Selene on Atropos from our group at Housemarque with Darkish Horse Comics. This can be a sensible graphic novel you don’t need to miss that expands on our darkish, deep and delightful thriller, Returnal.”
The 224-page Artwork of Returnal may even be accessible on October 22.
This complete factor is a small lesson within the risks of teasing an viewers. The announcement of a brand new graphic novel and an artwork ebook is admittedly cool for followers, however by teasing the announcement beforehand and timing it with the sport’s third anniversary, individuals obtained overrated for a sequel or enlargement and so the reception has been reasonably tepid.
