SAROS (PS5)

Discover a dark and deeply personal story in SAROS, a standalone cinematic action experience from the award-winning developers at Housemarque. Set on the shape-shifting planet of Carcosa, the narrative follows Arjun Devraj, a haunted Soltari enforcer driven by loss, regret, and an unrelenting need for answers. Drawn into the violent beauty and cosmic horrors of this alien world, Arjun must search for the truth behind the Eclipse—a sinister force that distorts reality and corrupts everyone it touches. As he fights across mysterious biomes, Arjun’s journey pulls him deeper into a fallen civilisation and towards devastating revelations about his own past.

SAROS features Housemarque’s signature bullet ballet combat, offering fast, fluid, and projectile-focused encounters that demand precision and skill. You can unlock and evolve a personalised arsenal of powerful weapons and abilities, including corruption-driven enhancements that offer permanent progression across runs. Master the art of the parry, shield, and dodge as you learn complex enemy attack patterns and face off against gargantuan bosses in intense, high-stakes battles. The ever-changing world of Carcosa reshapes itself after every death, ensuring that no two journeys through the shifting pathways and dreamlike ruins are ever the same.

Between your descents into the madness of the planet, you will return to the Passage to meet the Echelon IV crew and track your progress. The psychological narrative is shaped by memory and fractured trust, as you watch your allies unravel under the influence of the Eclipse. Beyond mere survival, you must uncover the true cost of your power and determine what it truly means to break free from the past. With stunning graphics and a layered, unconventional story, SAROS pushes the boundaries of cinematic action on the PlayStation 5.
