Get ready, gamers! Saros, the eagerly awaited new game from Housemarque, made its grand debut at the February 2025 State of Play. Scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026, Saros promises to build upon the adrenaline-pumping action of Returnal. This time, players will step into the shoes of Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Rahul Kohli, in a narrative that promises to captivate and thrill.
Evolving the Legacy of Returnal
Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, has shared insights into the vision behind Saros. The goal is to not only continue the legacy of Returnal but to establish Saros as a standalone IP that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and gameplay mechanics further. Unlike Returnal's ever-shifting roguelike experience, Saros introduces a system of permanent and evolving loadouts, including weapons and suits. This feature, dubbed "Come Back Stronger," aims to empower players to overcome any obstacle through persistent progress and strategic adaptation.
As we edge closer to 2026, fans can look forward to an extended gameplay reveal later in 2025, promising a deeper look into what Saros has in store.
