Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Freedom Wars grows English subtitles

If Asia sales do kick off, and with China opening its doors ajar, there's some hope, Sony looks to be well placed to win, and us westerners will benefit if they automatically bolt English into their future releases.



We even get the original teaser trailer in English...
