We are talking about the former game audience researcher for the European division of the SIE Laura Glibert (Laura Gilbert), who was listed in the above position from March 2017 to February 2019.

Gilbert’s resume points out that Returnal, which premiered on June’s online show The Future of Gaming, is slated to premiere in 2021. However, according to Timur222, this information was added “recently”.

As part of the process for making Returnal, Gilbert probably knew about the expected release date for the game. However, since then, the plans of the developers may well have changed.

Recall that Returnal is a roguelike shooter from the Finnish studio Housemarque. Players take on the role of a female astronaut who, inevitably finds herself on an exotic planet, falls into a time loop.

The heroine’s task is to break the vicious circle before she loses her mind. After each death of the protagonist, the terrain is rebuilt: the variability of each race is provided by procedural generation.

Returnal is being created exclusively for PlayStation 5. According to a January letter from Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen, the new game has been in development for over three years.
