Saros for PS5

SAROS is a standalone cinematic action experience from Housemarque, set on the shape-shifting planet Carcosa. It follows Arjun Devraj, a haunted Soltari enforcer driven by loss, regret, and an unrelenting need for answers. As he searches for the truth behind the Eclipse—a sinister force that distorts the world and everyone within it—Arjun fights through Carcosa’s mysterious biomes and uncovers a fallen civilization, unsettling truths about his past, unlikely allies, fractured bonds, and devastating revelations.

Explore a haunting world that reshapes after every death. Dreamlike biomes, alien ruins, shifting pathways, cosmic phenomena, hidden areas, ancient structures, lost technologies, side journeys, and new characters shape each journey across Carcosa.

Combat is fast, fluid, and projectile-focused, with bullet-ballet action that rewards learning enemy patterns to parry, shield, dodge, and take on bosses. Unlock and evolve weapons, abilities, and corruption-driven enhancements while building a personalized arsenal through permanent progression and adaptive playstyles. Between runs, return to the Passage to meet the Echelon IV crew and track progression as the Eclipse fuels paranoia, hallucinations, and fractured trust.
