Saros

Saros is a single-player action game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The spiritual follow-up to Returnal is again a third-person shooter that melds bullet hell games with modern roguelites. However, this time, players will be given far more options to upgrade their suit and their weaponry, offering a sense of permanent progression.

The game stars Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, and will also see the return of Jane Perry, who played Seline in Returnal, as they explore a hostile planet.

PlayStation says it is a “fast-paced, cinematic action game with exhilarating moment-to-moment gameplay, climactic boss fights and a mysterious and moving story – the hallmarks of industry veterans, Housemarque.”
