The project strongly suspected to be a Returnal PC port is frequently being updated.
As spotted by VGC, a Steam database entry for what sounds suspiciously like Returnal is continually being worked on, suggesting the stellar AAA roguelike could be making its way to PC in the near future. A visit to the SteamDB's history page reveals that new builds are being added daily, and earlier this week, the achievements for this mysterious title were updated with new localizations.
Back in May, a listing for a project codenamed Oregon appeared on SteamDB, a database of everything on Steam. The name doesn't give anything away, but localization strings referencing Atropos (the planet Returnal is set on), Tower of Sisyphus (the game's DLC), and Helios (protagonist Selene's ship) hint at it being Housemarque's latest.
A PC port of the third-person shooter wouldn't be altogether surprising, as many great PlayStation exclusives such as Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War have already been ported to PC. It would also support Sony's lofty plans to triple its PC gaming revenue in the next 12 months. In May SIE president Jim Ryan told VGC, "by expanding to PC and mobile, and it must be said… also to live services, we have the opportunity to move from a situation of being present in a very narrow segment of the overall gaming software market, to being present pretty much everywhere."
Returnal is one of PS5's best, not to mention most brutal offerings so far, so PC players are in for a treat if the rumors turn out to be true. Despite Returnal's popularity, Housemarque seemingly has no plans for a follow-up at present. Instead, the developer is currently working on a new IP but has said that its next game will include unused "ideas and narrative systems" from Returnal.

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and GamesRadar+. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
