Housemarque has shared a new trailer and release date for its next sci-fi action game, Saros.
Announced at The Game Awards 2025, Saros is now scheduled to launch on April 30, 2026 for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, which is a one-month delay from the original March 20 release date.
The Return The studio debuted an eerie gameplay trailer to accompany the news, featuring actor Rahul Kohli as protagonist Arjun Devraj, as well as the first look at the ensemble cast that will join him, including Jane Perry as Sheridan Bouchard, who also starred as Selene Vassos from Return.
First revealed earlier this year, Saros Set on the planet Carcosa under the threat of an ominous eclipse, will follow Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers to a lost off-world colony.

The trailer also gave us a fresh look at the game’s third-person combat, which Housemarque calls “bullet ballet,” as well as a new ‘Parry’ ability that players can execute with perfect timing, which reflects certain projectiles at enemies to destroy or dislocate them (via PlayStation Blog).
Creative director Gregory Louden explained that earlier this year Saros will stand out Return‘s roguelike mechanics and instead feature permanent progression systems.
“An important distinction between the gameplay Saros and Return are permanent resources and development that make each death worthwhile,” Louden said at the time. “After each death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you’ll be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to ‘come back stronger’ to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa.”
Pre-order details have also been confirmed, which include a few versions to choose from, including the Digital Deluxe Edition, which offers a 48-hour early access period, as well as four additional costumes, three of which are inspired by PlayStation Studios titles, Return, The God of Warand Ghost of Yotei.
Players who pre-order Saros or Digital Deluxe can also unlock ‘Hands of Shore Armour’.
