Exciting news for fans of intense action games! Housemarque, the creators behind the acclaimed game Returnal, have just unveiled their latest project, Saros, at the February 2025 State of Play. Slated for a 2026 release, this new title promises to build on the thrilling gameplay that fans loved in Returnal.
Releasing in 2026
Mark your calendars for 2026, as Saros is set to launch on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. This game will continue the legacy of Housemarque's previous third-person action game, Returnal, introducing players to a new protagonist, Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli.
Come Back Stronger
Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, has shared that Saros is designed to stand independently from Returnal, creating a new intellectual property (IP) that will refine and expand upon the storytelling and mechanics of its predecessor. While Returnal offered an ever-changing roguelike experience across shifting biomes, Saros introduces permanent and evolving loadouts, including weapons and suits. This new feature allows players to "Come Back Stronger," enhancing their ability to overcome any challenges they encounter.
Keep an eye out for more details, as an extended gameplay reveal is scheduled for later in 2025.
