Housemarque’s New Game Is Titled “Saros” and Out in 2026
[summaraize]
At Sony’s State of Play show, the company ended the stream with our first look at Housemarque’s newest game in development, “Saros.” Starring Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass), this new game will hit PS5 in 2026.
Check out the first cinematic trailer and details straight from Sony.
Saros Is Housemarque’s Latest Project and an Evolution of Returnal
While not a direct sequel, Housemarque is not shunning aside the game’s Returnal roots. “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,” the studio mentions in its first-ever blog post about the project.
The game protagonist, played by Kohli is named Arjun. More of the “ensemble cast” NPC and story info will be revealed at a later date.
Housemarque explains how Saros is different from Returnal:
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.
Expect our first gameplay look at the game later this year.
