Saros, a Returnal Spiritual Successor, is Coming 2026

Get ready for an exciting new adventure with Saros, the latest game from Housemarque, announced at the February 2025 State of Play. Mark your calendars for a 2026 release and dive into what promises to be a thrilling evolution of the studio's signature gameplay.

Releasing in 2026

Housemarque's newest title, Saros, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026. This game builds upon the foundation laid by their critically acclaimed third-person action game, Returnal. Saros introduces players to Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli, promising a deep and engaging narrative experience.

Come Back Stronger

According to Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, Saros is designed to stand independently from Returnal, creating a new IP that refines and expands upon the storytelling and mechanics of its predecessor. While Returnal offered an ever-changing roguelike experience across shifting biomes, Saros introduces permanent and evolving loadouts, including weapons and suits. This new feature aims to empower players to "Come Back Stronger," overcoming any challenges they face.

Stay tuned for more details, as an extended gameplay look is scheduled for later in 2025.
