Oh, Housemarque. You’re such a tease. When the studio took to social media earlier this week teasing an imminent reveal, let’s face it, we all assumed aReturnalexpansion or sequel was on the way.
After all, what better time to announce such a project than whenReturnalis celebrating its three year anniversary?

Intertwining withReturnal’s narrative,Fallen Asteriacentres around explorer Selene Vassos shortly after she’s crashed on the alien world of Atropos.
The synopsis reads: “Selene must fight for her life against horrific hostiles that live beyond every shadow and a trail of distorted memories. Mystery shrouds the world of Atropos, and Selene begins to wonder: will she find answers at the end of her journey, or is this nightmare inescapable?”
Take a look atReturnal,the game itself, in action below. It’s well worth checking out if you own a PS5.
The graphic novel has also been partly adapted as an animated short which is free to watch and enjoy online.

It’s the perfect chance to look into the skilled craftsmanship that went into creating such a stellar game.
BothFallen AsteriaandThe Art of Returnalwill be released on 22 October later this year.
