Saros marks a thrilling new chapter for Housemarque, set to release in 2026. This game continues the studio's tradition of delivering gripping 3rd-person action, evolving from the acclaimed Returnal. Players will follow the journey of Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli, as they navigate through this new universe.

Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, has crafted Saros to establish a new intellectual property (IP) that builds on the storytelling and mechanics of Returnal. Unlike Returnal's ever-shifting biomes and roguelike elements, Saros introduces permanent and evolving loadouts including weapons and suits. This innovative approach aims to empower players to "Come Back Stronger" and overcome any challenges they encounter.

An extended gameplay reveal is slated for later in 2025, giving fans an in-depth look at what Saros has in store.
