Housemarque unveiled Saros during the February 2025 State of Play event. This new game, slated for release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro sometime in 2026, builds upon the thrilling gameplay of their acclaimed title, Returnal. Starring Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, Saros promises a captivating narrative experience.

According to Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, Saros was conceived to allow Returnal to stand alone, establishing a distinct new IP. While iterating on Returnal's compelling storytelling and mechanics, Saros introduces permanent and evolving loadouts—weapons and suits—empowering players to "Come Back Stronger" and overcome challenges. The game will depart from Returnal's roguelike structure of shifting biomes.

Further gameplay details will be revealed later in 2025.
