SAROS Releases on March 20, New Gameplay Trailer Released

SAROS is the next game from Housemarque, the makers of the critically acclaimed Returnal.

SAROS is the ultimate evolution of developer Housemarque’s trademark ‘gameplay first’ experience.

Building on the studio’s expertise in explosive action and mysterious storytelling, SAROS is a new adventure set on the lost off-world colony of Carcosa during an ominous eclipse.

You play as Arjun Devraj, performed by Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher), a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. After each death you’ll face a changed world – but you can permanently upgrade and customise your loadout, enabling Arjun to come back stronger every time.

Previously, Creative Director Gregory Louden said the following on PS Blog:

“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…

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.”
