Housemarque showcased a new trailer for its upcoming third-person action game Saros at PlayStation's State of Play on February 12, 2026. The game, set for release on April 30, 2026, for PS5, features protagonist Arjun Devraj voiced by Rahul Kohli. It introduces permanent progression systems distinct from the studio's previous title Returnal.
Housemarque, known for the fast-paced roguelike Returnal, presented Saros as its next project during the February 12, 2026, PlayStation State of Play broadcast. The trailer highlighted the game's setting on Carcosa, a lost colony shrouded in an ominous eclipse, where players control Arjun Devraj, a Soltari Enforcer on a mission to locate a mysterious individual.
Rahul Kohli, recognized for roles in Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher, provides the voice and likeness for Arjun, adding depth to the narrative. Housemarque described Saros as "an emotional and powerful character study that explores the cost of creating a new future." The gameplay emphasizes a fresh approach with permanent resources and a progression system allowing players to retain and upgrade equipment after each death, unlike Returnal's more punishing structure.
The studio noted that "every death will be precious," as it alters the environment and unlocks new strategic opportunities. The trailer also featured survivors of Echelon 4, alongside details on permanent progression systems and challenge modifiers, building anticipation for the title's challenging, action-oriented gameplay in a new universe.
Preorders are currently available, positioning Saros as a continuation of Housemarque's signature style while innovating on player retention mechanics.
