SAROS is the next game from Housemarque, coming to PS5 and PS5 Pro in 2026. Set on the planet Carcosa under the threat of an ominous eclipse, take on the role of Arjun Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers on a lost off-world colony.SAROS features permanent progression systems, where every death reshapes the world while offering new upgrades to overcome challenges. With a haunting story, deep third-person action, and a grounded performance by Rahul Kohli, SAROS presents the next evolution in Housemarque's gameplay-first experience.

Returnal taught me never to buy a roguelike again. Read that it was a roguelike, but couldn't exactly remember what the genre was, because I've played so few, and still bought it because the combat and world looked neat. On top of the tiresome punishing cycle, the story was super embarrassing. She should have just kept her mouth shut, for the most part. Quit the game somewhere in the underwater world.

I liked Returnal but a bit disappointed this looks like they are aiming to do something similar here. Was hoping for something more ambitious.

You're talking about Rogue-liTes, that stole the genre name from actual good games. Actual Rogue-likes that follow Berlin Interpretation are fairly good.

I loved Returnal, but the director Harry Kruger has left Housemarque, this will likely not be as good.

So their protagonists range from barren bull dykes to stinky shitskinned terrorists. How are they any better than Bioware and the like? They might actually be worse.
