The clock above counts down to Saros, Housemarque's third-person roguelike action game, releasing April 30, 2026 as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive.
Saros is Housemarque's follow-up to 2021's Returnal, the BAFTA-winning roguelike third-person shooter that became one of the PS5's defining first-party releases. Saros stars Rahul Kohli as a soldier-protagonist on a hostile, unfamiliar alien world, layering Housemarque's signature bullet-hell-meets-cinematic-action approach over a roguelike mission structure.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayStation Studios publishes the game on April 30, 2026 as a PS5 console exclusive. After Returnal's critical and commercial success, Saros builds on the same studio formula — heavy combat, stylized visuals, and a Housemarque-trademark arcade-leaning action ceiling.
Saros is expected to deliver tighter combat, more varied environments, and a more expansive narrative than Returnal — pushing Housemarque's roguelike formula into a more story-forward direction. Rahul Kohli's casting as the lead anchors the cinematic-cutscene material that bridges runs.
Saros launches April 30, 2026 on PS5 as a console exclusive. Standard, deluxe, and a likely PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced edition are expected.
