Saros Revealed at the February 2025 State of Play

A 2026 Release

Housemarque, the studio behind the acclaimed Returnal, has lifted the veil on its next project: Saros. Set for release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro sometime in 2026, Saros builds upon and expands the thrilling gameplay established in Returnal. The game centers around Arjun Devraj, portrayed by actor Rahul Kohli.

Come Back Stronger

According to Housemarque's Creative Director, Gregoy Louden, Saros was conceived to allow Returnal to stand alone as a distinct IP. Saros represents a new intellectual property that iterates on Returnal's narrative and mechanics. While Returnal offered a constantly evolving roguelike experience across shifting biomes, Saros introduces persistent and progressively customizable loadouts—weapons and suits—empowering players to "Come Back Stronger" and overcome challenges.

Further gameplay details will be revealed later in 2025.
