Beyoncé's return is subsequently set to take off on 29 July, 2022.

Both platforms have spread the word about the upcoming release on Twitter.
Fans of the 'Best Thing I Never Had' singer have since flooded to social media in excitement over the announcement.
One eagle-eyed fan noted that the album is stated as being 'Act One' which suggests that there could be a sequel.
"RENAISSANCE ACT 1! Its a double album... Beyonce is giving us two albums," they said.

Other Beyoncé fans were quick to spy that the singer had previously hinted at the title of her upcoming release in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2021.
The musician revealed to the outlet she had been in the studio 'for a year and a half,' recording throughout the pandemic.
Addressing what she had in store for her next release, she said: "I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible."
The singer also noted that even 'after 31 years,' creating music feels 'just as exciting as it did when [she] was nine years old'.
Beyoncé resolved: "There's nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio."
Renaissance Act One is set for release on 29 July.
