Returnal’s developer Housemarque is currently looking into implementing saves, but things may be more complicated than anticipated.
Speaking with Axios Gaming, as reported by VGC, Housemarque Marketing Director Mikael Havari confirmed that the team is currently considering how to implement saves. The developer understands that there are some systems in place that are currently a hindering factor, and it has heard feedback from players, but it doesn’t have anything specific to announce at the time as there’s “a lot of different people looking for different things”
Being a roguelike, it was not surprising to see Returnal lacking a save system that would let players save their current status in a cycle. Even with this issue that has turned a lot of players off, Returnal is an extremely solid game, and one of the finest PlayStation 5 exclusives released so far, as highlighted by Kai in his review of the game.
Returnal is now available on PlayStation 5 worldwide.
