“Returnal: Ascension” was announced via a new trailer that showed off some of the new content players can expect to find. The trailer opens up with snippets of footage from the base game, showing Selene fighting against (and succumbing to) various foes. In between each death, the trailer cuts to Selene abruptly waking up and her loop starting over. From the very start of the trailer, the action is underscored by Selene’s narration, in which she says, “Trapped in an endless cycle. Fighting. Dying. Returning. Always the same…yet always changing.”
From there, however, something different happens. Instead of pulling herself up on her own after a death, Selene wakes to see another scout offering aid. Selene then says, “I’m not alone. Not anymore.” The trailer then cuts to a series of action-filled snippets as the two face down various threats on Atropos. Before long however, the trailer reveals a fearsome tower, with Selene saying, “Now I stand before the endless tower. I climb as Sisyphus did…pushing the boulder upward.”
Selene explains, “No matter how high I climb, the challenge begins again. But I fight on through the infinite… My release is within this tower. And I will find it.” The trailer finally concludes with a scene of Selene standing before a giant tentacled monstrosity.
