Saros, a Returnal Spiritual Successor, is Coming 2026

Excitement is building as Housemarque unveiled their latest project, Saros, at the February 2025 State of Play. Mark your calendars for 2026, as this highly anticipated game is set to launch on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. Saros is poised to be a spiritual successor to the studio's acclaimed third-person action game, Returnal, and introduces players to the compelling character Arjun Devraj, portrayed by the talented Hollywood actor Rahul Kohli.

Releasing in 2026

Housemarque's new venture, Saros, promises to build upon and enhance the thrilling gameplay that fans loved in Returnal. Scheduled for release in 2026, this game will not only continue the legacy of its predecessor but also introduce new elements to the franchise. Players can look forward to diving into the world of Saros, where they'll follow the journey of Arjun Devraj, brought to life by Rahul Kohli.

Come Back Stronger

According to Housemarque's creative director, Gregory Louden, Saros is designed to establish a standalone IP that expands on Returnal's storytelling and mechanics. While Returnal offered an ever-changing roguelike experience across shifting biomes, Saros introduces a new twist with permanent and evolving loadouts. This includes a variety of weapons and suits, enabling players to "Come Back Stronger" and overcome any challenges they face. Fans eager for more can anticipate an extended gameplay reveal later in 2025.
