Gameplay

Set on the planet Carcosa, it follows Soltari Enforcer Arjun Devraj (Rahul Kohli) as he investigates a lost off-world colony. [1] Played from a third-person perspective, the game features persistent resource and progression systems that allows the player to permanently upgrade Devraj's loadout with new weapons and suit enhancements for subsequent playthroughs after each character's death.

Development and release

Following the release of Returnal (2021), Housemarque sought to expand upon the game's gameplay and narrative style within a new intellectual property. [3] Ilari Kuittinen, CEO and co-founder of Housemarque, said that Saros was made possible due to the studio's acquisition by Sony in July 2021. Development of Saros began in 2022, with its budget totaling "tens of millions of euros". [4] The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5. [5]

Saros was announced at the State of Play in February 2025. [2] It is scheduled to release on 20 March 2026 for the PlayStation 5. [6]
