Returnal, the next game by Housemarque launching later this month on PlayStation 5, will use the DualSense features to increase immersion and make combat more engaging than in the studio’s previous titles.
A new post on the Official PlayStation Blog provided some new details on how the upcoming game will take advantage of the controller’s unique features. Right from the start of the adventure, Returnal will use haptic feedback to make players feel what is happening on screen.
Adaptive Triggers will also be fully utilized by Returnal. The L2 button, for example, can be pressed halfway for a zoom-in Focus Aim, and fully to activate the weapon’s alt-fire mode.
The new preview also revealed how the 3D audio design will improve the Returnal experience, which will let players pinpoint enemy placements via sounds.
The new post also goes over Returnal’s combat and other gameplay mechanics. You can read the post in full by going here.
Returnal launches on PlayStation 5 on April 30th.
