Saros, by Creators of Returnal, Unveils First Gameplay Trailer

Housemarque’s Saros Sequel Reveals Intense Gameplay Featuring Actor Rahul Kohli on March 2026

Housemarque’s Saros, the highly anticipated sequel to Returnal, offered a first look at its gameplay during a recent State of Play event. The game launches on PS5 on March 20, 2026. Saros builds upon Returnal’s third-person action with a new story, where actor Rahul Kohli portrays Arjun Devraj, an explorer navigating the shapeshifting alien planet Carcosa. Director Gregory Louden stated, “In this gameplay preview, we wanted to show real, unedited action from Saros, and talk about the new elements we’ve added to Returnal’s third-person action. The goal: Make the gameplay deeper with more tools for players.” A central mechanic reveals that each time Arjun dies and revives, he transforms into something new. Arjun utilizes advanced Soltari Combat Gear, enabling enhanced agility and effective enemy engagement. Players select weapons from a mix of human gear and alien technology from Carcosa at the beginning of each playthrough. The preview showcased Arjun wielding the Soltarian Phosphor Shotgun against enemy machines within a lost city, demonstrating the game’s brutal sci-fi weaponry and intense projectile combat. Arjun also wields the Soltarian Shield, which absorbs enemy fire defensively and augments explosive attacks from his energy weapon.

The Soltari technology also corrupts Arjun’s right arm, providing him with alternative, customizable attack options. Furthermore, the “Second Chance” perk allows Arjun to revive after succumbing to Carcosa’s corruptive Eclipse energy. Players can permanently upgrade gear and abilities, ensuring continuous progression and varied experiences across playthroughs. Housemarque leads the development of Saros, with Nixxes contributing to art and gameplay. Xdev and PlayStation Studios Creative Arts handle the game’s sound and music. Composer Sam Slater, known for his scores in Chernobyl, Joker, and Mandy, crafts Saros’ soundtrack, blending dark electronic beats with drone-metal elements. Saros aims to deliver an expanded and engaging experience, launching on PS5 on March 20, 2026.
