Returnal (PS5) has been delayed to April 30, 2021

[--R]

March 19th -> April 30th

 

[ItsBradazHD]

 

[Smoshow]

I'll play it when it is ready.

 

[Slayven]

Didn't reporters say this will be quite common this year?

 

[Rivyn]

That sucks but all the better for a more polished game!

 

[jon bones]

COVID delays continue - it's gonna be like this for a long time

 

[Kalentan]

Darn... :( but hopefully all is well.

 

[Foot]

Wanna pop that bubble wrap behind her.

 

[AngelOFDeath]

Ratchet take its place!

 

[Chuck795]

Bummer, but that's not too bad. MH Rise will consume my time anyway for that month.

 

[dogbox]

Not too bad a delay at all. Really interested t see how this one turns out, it looks fantastic and like a lotta fun every time I see it

 

[zombiejames]

A month-and-a-week delay isn't bad, all things considered.

 

[Fonst]

First Outriders, now this...maybe I should start up KotOR.

 

[PS9]

Give Housemarque all the time they need.

 

[DominicanGlory]

Take your time, kings and queens

 

[cw_sasuke]

Take your time with it. It's a new cool looking IP so the first impressions are gonna be very important.

 

[modiz]

Might actually be able to get a PS5 by then.
Take your time Housemarque.

 

[Temascos]

Nooo!

But if it gives them the time they need to polish it, then that's fine.

 

[Shock32]

Fine by me. Can't wait to play it. Hopefully Kena BoS falls in March still.

Yea. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a delay for most things, including RE8.

 

[Puffy]

Take all the time you need

 

[____]

Delays are a good thing

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Not gonna change much for me, more space for Yakuza 7 if anything. Polish your baby, Housemarque !

 

[gabegabe]

Expected, this is just one of the many delays we'll see this year.

 

[Mugen X]

Sucks but not too bad, let the delays begin tho. I think we're in for a lot of them unfortunately.

 

[Trago]

Good timing, that's the month my PS5 ships from GameStop.

 

[Rowsdower]

Well, at least it's only a month.

 

[YozoraXV]

I thought it was gold.

But then again Cyperpunk still got delayed after being gold.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

One week before RE Village. Damn.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Yea. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a delay for most things, including RE8.

Yeah, Covid is still a thing worldwide, so hardly unexpected.
2020, 2021 and I suspect even 2022 are going to be shitty years.

 

[Xevross]

Fair enough, I think one month COVID delays are going to be quite common. Hopefully this gives them more time to ramp up the hype, we might have a big general PS5 show where the game can be on a huge stage before this date.

 

[Loudninja]

Not much of a delay really

 

[Helix]

Elden Ring is gonna be delayed soon too, I can feel it!

 

[HStallion]

A pretty minor delay so nothing too startingly.

 

[CognitiveAtrophy]

Fair enough. It's only a month.

 

[Servbot24]

Too bad, but at least it's just a month.

 

[Transistor]

Gotta remember we're still in a pandemic. Delays are going to become the norm while companies get more and more used to changing their work structures. At least it's only a month.

 

[ghostcrew]

Year of delays, I tell ya!

A month doesn't hurt too bad. Plenty to be playing.

Between Covid and stock supply (which is also because of Covid) most things will be delayed either because they need more time to finish the game, or because they want to wait for next gen to have more market share.

 

[MrTired]

Look like a strategic delay to be honest, maybe there stock issues would improve by then.

 

[Bradbatross]

It feels like everything is getting delayed.

 

[MrPink]

Small delay, helps get some more PS5s into the hands of owners. A bit close to RE8 though

 

[Uzupedro]

Just a month, that's totally fine.
Only one week before RE8 hurts a little though.

 

[badboy78660]

I'm fine with waiting if it makes for a better game 👍🏽.

 

[Protome]

Damn, April and May are packed now. This, Nier, Pokemon Snap, Guilty Gear Strive, Deathloop, RE Village. It's going to be a busy and expensive couple of months.

I hope this means they'll have the framerate locked by launch those gameplay videos they've shown recently have been...jumpy.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Awh man, right as I was getting amped up for this one.

oh well, if mass effect is set for March then this will give me more time to finish the trilogy

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I'm fine with waiting if it makes for a better game 👍🏽.

Click to shrink...

Like with cyberpunk's delays

 

[Eden]

Damn I was looking forward to playing a bit before Repentance came out. If it helps them get a steady framerate then all the better.

 

[HStallion]

I'm honestly fine with a month long delay instead of them pushing it out too soon with a ton of bugs and issues that will just require a large patch a month out from launch.

 

[Izanagi89]

They should take all the time they need. Let it bake. Only thing is....it's so close to RE Village so timing is a bit crappy for me personally. Either way. This is good
