Saros: Housemarque's Exciting Returnal Successor Lands in 2026

Housemarque has introduced Saros, a new single-player IP set to launch in 2026 on PlayStation 5. This game serves as a spiritual successor to the acclaimed roguelite shooter Returnal, featuring a character named Arjun Devraj who navigates a perilous and ever-changing world. The gameplay in Saros promises to evolve the Housemarque experience by incorporating permanent resources and upgrades, diverging from the original title while maintaining its bullet-hell roots. Gamers can look forward to enhanced visuals on the upcoming PS5 Pro, and a more in-depth gameplay reveal is anticipated later in the year.

Saros is scheduled to be released in 2026 for PlayStation 5.

Saros represents Housemarque's commitment to advancing its gameplay style, building on the foundation established by Returnal. Known for its fast-paced, action-packed mechanics, Housemarque has built a reputation in the indie game development sphere, garnering critical acclaim for Returnal’s unique storytelling and relentless gameplay. Saros aims to blend these elements while introducing significant gameplay innovations that promise to engage both fans of the original game and new players alike.
