Housemarque closed out Sony’s February 2025 State of Play broadcast today with the announcement of its new title, Saros, which is coming to PS5 in 2026.
Saros is a brand new IP but builds on the foundations of Returnal, taking the form of an action game that focuses on an off-world colony on Carcosa that is plagued by an ominous eclipse. Players follow Soltari Enforce, Arjun Devarj, who is tenacious in his goal of finding who he is looking for, and is portrayed by Rahul Kohli.

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.
Saros is in development for PS5 and PS5 Pro with a release date set for next year.
