Excitement is building as Housemarque unveiled their latest project, Saros, at the February 2025 State of Play. Mark your calendars for 2026, as this highly anticipated game is set to launch on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. Saros is poised to be a spiritual successor to the studio's acclaimed third-person action game, Returnal, and introduces players to the compelling character Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli.
Releasing in 2026
Housemarque's Saros promises to build upon and enhance the thrilling gameplay that fans loved in Returnal. Set to release in 2026, this new title will continue to captivate players with its dynamic action and immersive narrative, all while introducing new elements to the franchise.
Come Back Stronger
According to Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, Saros is designed to establish a standalone IP that evolves the storytelling and mechanics of Returnal. While Returnal offered an ever-changing roguelike experience across shifting biomes, Saros will introduce permanent and evolving loadouts, including weapons and suits. This new feature aims to empower players to "Come Back Stronger," enabling them to overcome any challenges they encounter.
Gamers eager for more can look forward to an extended gameplay reveal later in 2025, offering a deeper dive into what Saros has in store.
