Of all the titles appearing at The Game Awards, one of the least expected could be Housemarque’s Saros. The rogue-lite third-person shooter launches early next year and may receive its own dedicated State of Play before that. But that doesn’t mean it can’t appear at this week’s awards show with a new trailer.
It could even be something as simple as announcing that pre-orders are now available, since the Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions were recently rated in Taiwan (as discovered by Gematsu). You probably shouldn’t expect it to cost more than $69.99 for the base game – the real question is what benefits the Deluxe Edition could offer.
Saros launches on March 20th, 2026, for PS5 and serves as a successor to Returnal. It features similar gunplay and mechanics like dashing, though protagonist Arjun Devraj can also use a shield to absorb damage. While visual aspects like “tentacle technology” are very much intact (for better or worse), it’s developed on Unreal Engine 5 and features more persistent progression.
This is exciting news! It’s always interesting to see unexpected titles gain attention, especially from a studio like Housemarque. Looking forward to the pre-order details and what the Digital Deluxe Edition might offer!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how surprises like Sar can really shake up the gaming landscape. Housemarque has a strong track record, so it’ll be intriguing to see how they blend their signature style with new elements in this title.
I completely agree! Surprises like Sar can definitely bring fresh excitement to the industry. Housemarque has a unique style, and their ability to blend genres could lead to some innovative gameplay mechanics that we haven’t seen before. It’ll be interesting to see how it all unfolds!
Absolutely! It’s always refreshing to see unexpected titles like Sar shake things up. Housemarque has a knack for innovative gameplay, so I’m curious to see how they’ll blend their style with this new project. It could really set a new standard in the genre!
