Following its delay to April 30, 2026, Housemarque's roguelike shooter Saros saw reviews go live on April 24 after a restrictive embargo lifted, earning acclaim for combat evolutions beyond Returnal while critics decried limits on narrative discussion. The PS5 title follows protagonist Arjun Devraj on the eclipsed planet Carcosa.

Reviews for Housemarque's Saros, spiritual successor to Returnal, launched in the early hours of April 24, 2026, as the embargo ended, generating buzz for its intense action mechanics. Critics like Kenneth Shepard of Kotaku praised the combat innovations and high scores, but highlighted the embargo's broad restrictions that prevented analysis of core story elements, such as a pivotal relationship. Shepard plans a post-launch review to cover omitted aspects. This comes ahead of the PS5-exclusive launch on April 30, previously delayed from March as announced at the 2025 Game Awards.
