Housemarque's next title, Saros, a successor to the acclaimed 2022 roguelite shooter Returnal, is set to launch in 2026. Starring Rahul Kohli, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, with enhanced features for the PS5 Pro.
Unveiled during the PlayStation State of Play, Saros retains the signature Housemarque style. Players take on the role of Arjun Devraj, a Solatri enforcer investigating a perilous, ever-changing planet shrouded in an eclipse and menaced by a formidable entity. The game's emphasis on "coming back stronger" and its fiery, bullet-hell combat strongly suggest a roguelike experience reminiscent of Returnal.
Creative director Gregory Louden describes Saros as the "ultimate evolution" of Housemarque's action-focused design philosophy. While a new single-player IP, it expands upon Returnal's third-person action mechanics.
However, significant gameplay differences exist. According to Louden's PlayStation Blog post, Saros introduces permanent progression and resources. While the game world shifts after player death, weapon and suit upgrades will be retained permanently.
Further details, including an extended gameplay showcase, are anticipated later this year.
