Housemarque has shared a new trailer and release date for its upcoming sci-fi action game, Saros.
Announced during the Game Awards 2025, Saros is now scheduled for April 30, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, a month later than its original release date of March 20.
THE Back The studio debuted a haunting gameplay trailer to accompany the news, featuring actor Rahul Kohli as title character Arjun Devraj, as well as a first look at the entire cast joining him, including Jane Perry as Sheridan Bouchard, who also played the role of Selene Vassos from Back.
First revealed earlier this year, Saros takes place on the planet Carcosa under the threat of an ominous eclipse and will follow Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers about a lost off-world colony.
Look on it
The trailer also gave us a new look at the game’s third-person combat, which Housemarque calls “bullet ballet,” as well as a new “Parry” ability that players can perform with perfect timing, reflecting certain projectiles back at enemies to destroy or stun them (via PlayStation Blog).
Creative director Gregory Louden explained earlier this year that Saros will stand out from BackRoguelike mechanics tend to have permanent progression systems.
“A key distinction in gameplay between Saros And Back it’s permanent resources and progression that make each death valuable,” 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 gear from an evolving set of upgraded weapons and suits to “come back stronger” and 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, including three inspired by PlayStation Studios titles, Back, God of WarAnd Yotei’s Ghost.
Players who pre-order Saros or the Digital Deluxe can also unlock the “Hands of Shore Armor”.
