Housemarque Announces Saros, a New IP Building on Returnal

Well,
this
one
was
a
very
welcome
surprise:
Housemarque
are
back
with
a
brand-new
IP
titled
Saros,
described
as
the
“ultmate
evolution”
of
everything
Housemarque
has
done.

As
you
might
have
guessed
from
the
trailer,
the
game
is
also
built
on
the
foundations
laid
by

the
excellent
Returnal.
More
specifically,
it
seems
to
be
a
third-person
action
game
with
an
emphasis
on
bullet-hell
style
combat
and
a
protagonist
that
can
return
from
death
stronger
than
before.

Speaking
of,
the
new
leading
character
is
Arjun
Devraj,
a
Soltari
Enforcer
who
finds
himself
on
the
planet
Carcosa
as
it
faces
an
ominous
eclipse.

“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.”
