Returnal

Returnal is the first PlayStation 5 exclusive on our list! The game follows an astronaut, Seline, who crash lands on a mysterious and isolated alien planet. You didn't expect it to be friendly and bustling, did you?

Seline soon realises she's up against an ancient civilisation, stuck in a never ending cycle... Every time she dies, she's pulled back again.

Returnal will release on PlayStation 5 on April 30th 2021.

Resident Evil Village

Capcom's newest game in the Resident Evil saga is another PlayStation 5 exclusive. The game follows Biohazard's main protagonist, Ethan Winters, as he's pulled back in to the morbid world of the Umbrella Corp. And he isn't the only familiar face returning; cue Chris Redfield!

Capcom's keeping the plot tight lipped, but if there's one thing we're certain on, it's that Ethan *probably* should have stayed away this time.

Resident Evil Village will release on PlayStation 5 on May 7th 2021.

Rainbow Six Quarantine

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege dropped in to save our 2020 in isolation. A year down the line, Ubisoft's rather aptly named Rainbow Six Quarantine is sure to be just as much of a hit!

This time, instead of defeating human enemies, you'll be tasked with defeating the supernatural. An alien parasite is infecting the human race, and who else would we trust to save us other than a R6 Operator!?

Rainbow Six Quarantine will release on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. There is no official release date.

The sequel will follow the post-apocalyptic zombie survival game, 15 years after the original outbreak. Only time will tell if the infection escaped Harran, or if our dropkick picked up any more damage...
