Julius Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago More details courtesy of the PS Blog: Quote Today we are very proud to announce that Saros is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026. Saros is the ultimate evolution of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience. Quote After Returnal we knew we had created something special and award-winning, but we also knew we wanted Returnal to stand on its own. With this in mind, we decided to create a new IP which evolves our deep third-person action and mysterious storytelling. Saros is an action game with the haunting story of a lost off-world colony on Carcosa under an ominous eclipse. You play as Arjun Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. Our goal is to create an emotional and powerful character study that explores the cost it takes to create a new future. Quote Arjun is performed by Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher). Rahul is truly bringing Arjun to life in a stunning performance. He has been a brilliant collaborator to tell our story and champion for the game. He is also not alone on Carcosa, and we will reveal more of our fantastic ensemble npc cast and story information ahead. Quote A key gameplay distinction between Saros and Returnal is permanent resources and progression making every death valuable. After every death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you will be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to “come back stronger” to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa. Quote We cannot wait to share more about our gameplay, art, audio, music, technology, story, how we push the PS5 console hardware and more from everyone working on Saros. Expect our first look at extended gameplay later this year. Saros is the next single-player action game from Housemarque and our amazing collaborators. This is a dream project made by a dream team. Funny how the quality of writing in the blog post kind of devolves as it goes on a little, like with "npc" not even being capitalised don't mean to poke fun but there's just something funny to me about the idea that Gregory Louden wrote this up in a bit of a rush on his phone
