Saros Is Housemarque’s Successor to Returnal, Arriving in 2026

Housemarque has exciting news for fans of their roguelite shooter genre with the announcement of Saros, the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2022 hit, Returnal. Set to launch in 2026, Saros will be available on the PlayStation 5 and enhanced for the PS5 Pro, promising a visually stunning experience. The game features Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, a Solatri enforcer on a mission to uncover secrets on a treacherous, ever-changing planet shrouded by an eclipse and dominated by a formidable entity.

Unveiled during the recent PlayStation State of Play, Saros exudes the signature Housemarque style.
