Housemarque announced their first new game since 2021's Returnal. During today's State of Play, Saros was announced for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. Saros is being billed as the "ultimate evolution of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience."
Today's cinematic trailer reveals a gameplay loop that is somewhat similar to Returnal. Death is part of the experience where resources and progression will carry over between each life. The world and challenges will change each time you die but you will be able to make use of permanent upgrades to your character and loadout.
The game tells the story of "a lost off-world colony on Carcocas under an ominous eclipse." You will play as Arjun Devraj, a "powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for." Arjun is performed by Rahul Kohli. Kohli is known for his roles in shows such as Midnight Mass, iZombie, and several video games such as Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Fortnite, Gears 5, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
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.
