The world of Atropos features diverse locations with colorful environments and detailed creatures. This update also adds Photo Mode, which is becoming an increasingly popular feature in modern games. If you were halfway through a run and decided that you wanted to play something else, or get off entirely, you either had to die and restart, or progress to the next segment of the game.
This addresses one of the frustrations that players had back when Returnal first came out.
You won’t be able to repeatedly load a save point if you die. The save point is single-use, so it’s not exactly like other save systems. It’s here that we learn more about the save system, which the game refers to as “Suspend Cycle.” This will allow players to stop playing the game mid-cycle and pick up from it later, even if they turn their console off.
Housemarque detailed the Returnal 2.0 update in a post to the PlayStation Blog earlier this morning. Now, the Returnal experience is being made just a tad bit easier as developer Housemarque has revealed Update 2.0 for the game, which adds the ability to manually save and load the game.
The PlayStation 5 exclusive launched back April and was known for its challenging combat and unforgiving difficulty. Returnal was one of the pleasant surprise video game releases of the early 2021 window.
