Welcome to Atropos!

We are honoured to have so many new players experiencing our dark, deep and beautiful action thriller, Returnal!

Bringing Returnal to PC and capturing that PlayStation 5 experience took a lot of work and focus from the team at Climax Studios, with support from Housemarque and XDEV. We have been blown away and are so thankful for the amazing reviews, feedback and reports you have shared with us so far.

We have continued to work on Returnal since launch, monitoring your feedback and will continue to work on patch updates to support the game ahead.
