Housemarque announces Saros, its Returnal successor

At today’s State of Play event, the “one more thing” closing the show was the reveal of a new game from Housemarque. The new title, Saros, was only shown in a cinematic trailer that revealed little about the gameplay, but did tease details about the story and setting and that the gameplay will build on the studio’s previous title, Returnal. Saros is expected to launch sometime in 2026.

The cinematic trailer shows the protagonist, Arjun Devraj, played by Rahul Kohli, a Soltari Enforcer trapped on a world called Carcosa under the gaze of an eclipse. He prepares to battle a multi-armed monster that appears to launch a bullet hell-style attack in the final seconds of the reveal. Housemarque will reveal more details about the gameplay later this year.
